Holograph, signed.
A ship's surgeon failed to deliver a letter written by William Lloyd Garrison to John Anderson Collins; the surgeon had the boldness to open the letter and read the contents. Garrison comments on the speeches of following people at the Sabbath convention: Amos Augustus Phelps, Nathaniel Colver, Charles T. Torrey, Samuel Osgood, Luther Lee, Silas Hawley, Joshua V. Himes, Philemon R. Russell, and Edward T. Taylor. William Henry Harrison was elected president of the United States; George Bradburn and John Rankin voted for him. Nathaniel P. Rogers is writing for both the National Anti-Slavery Standard and the Herald of Freedom. Oliver Johnson is still in New York. James Caleb Jackson is lecturing in western New York.
