Holograph, signed with initials.
William Lloyd Garrison reports on an anti-slavery meeting in New York. Abby Kelley (Foster) was appointed to a business committee. The minority of the group seceded to form the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society. Arthur Tappan declined re-election and Lindley Coates was chosen in his stead. Only James S. Gibbons was re-elected to the Executive Committee. Resolutions were adopted unanimously. A mob attacked Roswell Goss's Graham House. Garrison writes: "As Rogers and myself have been stopping with our colored friend Van Ranssalaer [sic], we have seen nothing of the mobocrats. It has not amounted to any thing like a popular tumult." Garrison will sail on the ship Columbus bound for Liverpool with Cyrus Pitt Grosvenor, William Adams, Charles Lenox Remond, and Nathaniel P. Rogers.
