William Lloyd Garrison's health is excellent in this climate. He has held two public meetings in Bristol, England. Everywhere Frederick Douglass goes he is the lion of the occasion. At Exeter, they had a glorious meeting. They go to Birmingham tomorrow and a few days later to Sheffield and Leeds to hold public meetings. If Elizabeth Pease Nichol has returned, they will go to Darlington. They are to hold a final anti-slavery meeting at Exeter Hall, London, with special reference to the Evangelical Alliance. Garrison has spoken publicly about the "atrocious case" of the Rajah of Sattara. William Lloyd Garrison says: "Last evening, I addressed a large meeting of the moral suasion Chartists, for the space of two hours, in the National Hall, George Thompson in the chair, and, of course, warmly commending me to the affection and co-operation of the workingmen of England. ...I did not appear before them in my official capacity, or as an abolitionist, technically speaking, but on my own responsibility, uttering such heresies in regard to Church and State as occurred to me, and fully identifying myself with all the unpopular reformatory movements in this country." Garrison spent Sunday at William H. Ashurst's and there met the celebrated preacher William J. Fox. Mary Howitt is preparing an autobiography of Garrison's life for the "People's Journal."
