500 $aMrs. Garrison is too busy to answer Fanny Garrison's letter, so William Lloyd Garrison is replying for her. William L. Garrison comments that President Lincoln's preliminary Emancipation Proclamation doesn't go far enough. He writes: "What was wanted, what is still needed, is a proclamation, distinctly announcing the total abolition of slavery. Still, the proclamation commits the government, in due time, to the emancipation of more than three quarters of the whole slave population; and therein I, with you, and a great multitude of others, 'do rejoice, and will rejoice.'" William L. Garrison mentions various visitors. He thinks that Fanny Garrison should return home by rail rather than by the Long Island steamer. He is glad to hear that Dr. Percy got a commission as a surgeon in the army.
