notes
Holograph, signed with initials.
The ship was delayed by a storm. William Lloyd Garrison is disgusted with New York City and comments that Wall Street is rightly named for those who are "walled in from the sympathies of human nature." Garrison refers to his wife's pending confinement and childbirth. He is relieved that she will have a "skillful female physician."
