William Lloyd Garrison is relieved to hear of "the success attending the delivery of Phillip's lecture at the Cooper Institute." He was worried about the New York Herald's attempt to create a disturbance. There was an immense audience at Wendell Phillips's discourse on "Ideas in their relation Events" delivered in Music Hall. If he is asked, Garrison will speak at Cooper Institute in New York. Theodore Tilton is becoming a "growing favorite" as a speaker, and he will no doubt have a positive reception. Garrison was surprised to hear that "Drs. Bacon and Thompson are to be succeeded by Henry Ward Beecher as editor of the Independent." Garrison favors the change.
