Holograph, signed.
The ship is still delayed by the storm. William Lloyd Garrison describes the bad weather. He expects to be seasick. Garrison saw William M. Chace and James C. Jackson, who supplied news of family. Chace reported that the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society will pay $500 into the treasury of the American Anti-Slavery Society. Abolitionists will have to admit that the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society has been "shamefully calumniated." Garrison thinks of their home and garden in Cambridgeport and of Oliver Johnson's work as editor of the Liberator.
