Holograph, signed.

William Lloyd Garrison jokes that the ladies' anti-slavery meeting was held with "no mob!" The gifts from the ladies are to be used to advance of the cause. Garrison is indignant that the meetinghouses refused Henry Egbert Benson's application for the use of a hall to hold the annual meeting. He appreciates the subscription of Mr. Chapman's father, which will go towards liquidating the Liberator's debt. He hopes that Ebenezer Dole of Hallowell, Maine, will not be appealed again. Since E. M. P. Wells dislikes the Liberator, Garrison does not want his subscription. Garrison wants Isaac Knapp to give priority to the debates in Congress regarding the abolition of slavery in the District in Columbia.
