Holograph, signed.
William Lloyd Garrison regrets that he is unable to attend the convention in Hingham because of a painful scrofula in his right hand. Also, Garrison's presence in the Liberator office is needed because this next issue of the Liberator is a very important one due to approaching elections. Garrison's friend Jairus Lincoln will excuse him from the convention. Garrison praises Charlotte Coffin as "an excellent girl, deserving of of an excellent husband." (Charlotte Coffin is Samuel Joseph May's sister-in-law, his wife's sister.)
