The ride home from Northumberland, New Hampshire, was very trying. On the train, William Lloyd Garrison met Mr. Benton, a Republican lawyer from Lancaster. Benton heard Garrison's lecture there with much satisfaction. William Lloyd Garrison, Jr., rode with William Lloyd Garrison and his family, from Lynn to West Lynn. On Saturday, William Lloyd Garrison, Jr., leaves for Ghent, New York. At Dix Place, Boston, William L. Garrison and his family were greeted by Henry Clarke Wright. It was the hottest day of the season. The expense of the trip averaged $10 a week for each member of the family. Garrison comments: "Travelling is an expensive luxury, especially for pleasure."
