William Lloyd Garrison encloses a letter from Joseph Barker, which will also be printed in the next issue of the Liberator. William Lloyd Garrison and his three children had scarlet fever; his wife became ill as they convalesced. Garrison commends Henry Clarke Wright, who is now on a mission in England. Garrison refers to Dwarkanath Tagore; he doubts the utility and safety of George Thompson's (Indian) mission. Garrison comments on the present condition of England, blaming abuses on the throne, aristocracy, and the union of church and state. He notes the death of Jonathan Backhouse. Garrison remarks on the exclusion of women from the next general anti-slavery convention in London. The American Anti-Slavery Society refuses to be represented.
