Description

Holograph, signed with initials.William Lloyd Garrison has just arrived from Rochester with Samuel Joseph May, who participated in the meetings there. The Rochester meetings were not well attended, but they were highly spirited and interesting. Frederick Douglass was absent. His place was taken by William Watkins, who "made the best defence he could---and it was ably done---in behalf of the Anti-Slavery character of the Constitution." Garrison describes the speeches made by Charles Remond and Sarah Remond. Aaron M. Powell was impressive. Susan B. Anthony came with them to make arrangements in Utica; they will either have small attendance there or a very large and rowdy showing. The Hudson River railroad was damaged by the flood. There was a similar rise of the Mohawk River. In Rochester, it was cold and stormy. Theodore Parker is to lecture in Rochester tonight.Merrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison, v.4, no.159.
