William Lloyd Garrison writes: "I have just returned from my visit to Vergennes, Vt., where I addressed an immense gathering at the Agricultural Fair, and at the close was greeted with three rousing cheers, having been serenaded by a brass band the previous evening. Surely, the abolitionists are up, and their old persecutors, the haughty slaveholders, are down." Garrison will try to prepare an address "to be laid before the Board" of Managers of the National Freedmen's Aid Commission. He would like to speak at the meeting, but he has "to have some new teeth, and to get used to them." He is sorry to hear that Wendell Phillips Garrison has been ill.
