Description: John Telemachus Hilton rejoices in the safe arrival and warm reception of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Grafton Chapman in Hayti [Haiti]. Hilton writes: "We truly miss the devoted friends of the Slave, But we do not mo[u]rn as those that have no hope. For we know that if God prosper you. You will be with us again. Besides we believe that your visit to Hayti will be a precious benefit to the Anti-Slavery Cause." [William M.] Chace has left to reside in Providence. Mr. Garrison's constant lecturing tours has done the "New Organization much damage in some places." Hilton reports that "President William H. Harrison and Major of the Boston Atlas, both have died Very Suddenly."
