500 $aWilliam Lloyd Garrison reports on the success of the meeting in Sheffield. The poet James Montgomery was "deeply affected" by the public meeting "as the horrors of slavery were revealed." Garrison gratefully remembers Mary Brady and Rebecca Brady's hospitality. Garrison visited Mrs. Rawson in Wincobank. On his return to London, Garrison did not "feel able, for economy's sake, to ride in what are called the 'first class' cars." The second and third class cars are like "Jim Crow" cars. Garrison describes a "triumphant" meeting in Exeter Hall in London. Garrison's speech was interrupted by rowdies, but applause overpowered opposition. Garrison criticized the sectarian character of the Evangelical Alliance. George Thompson and Frederick Douglass are effective speakers. Garrison is having a happy visit with the Ashursts; the weather in uncommonly fine. In Garrison's absence, Edmund Quincy is making the Liberator a "very racy sheet." Garrison describes the peculiar enmity of Henry Clapp toward Garrison. Henry C. Wright may return with Garrison. Frederick Douglass will stay till May. Garrison outlines his travel plans.
