500 $aFrederick Douglass was violently removed from his seat in a railroad car by John A. Fisher, a lawyer from Harrisburg, Penn. At Harrisburg, William Lloyd Garrison was met by Dr. Rutherford and his sister-in-law Agnes Crain. Garrison is staying with Dr. Rutherford. Frederick Douglass is staying with Mr. Wolf, a colored friend. At the meeting in the court house, the large audience listened respectfully to Garrison. When Frederick Douglass rose to speak, there were yells of "out with the damned nigger," and the mob outside made use of "rotten eggs and brickbats, fire-crackers and other missiles." Garrison quieted the alarmed audience for a few moments.
500 $aThe postscript is in the hand of another person and consists of this message: "I am about leaving in the cars for Pittsburg[h] and I had to get a friend to close this Letter. WG We were well pleased with the visit of Your Husband to this place."
