William Lloyd Garrison writes: "Until you made yourself known to me, a short time since, I had quite forgotten our being together in Baltimore in 1815-16; else I should have renewed the acquaintance at a much earlier period. Seeing that we have lived so near each other for so long a time, you in Salem and I in Boston, it is singular that no circumstances, fortuitous or otherwise, happened to bring us again face to face until the lapse of more than fifty-seven years!" Garrison will call on William Newhall when he visits Salem, Massachusetts.
