William Lloyd Garrison describes the journey to Franklin, Conn., to consult with Dr. Sweet about Mrs. Helen Eliza Garrison's supposedly broken arm. Dr. Sweet's diagnosis was a dislocation of the elbow and pronounced the case to be a "more difficult matter, in consequence of the length of time that had elapsed, and the mal-treatment of the case." Garrison has more confidence in Dr. Sweet than in all the surgeons in Boston. Garrison is thinking of renting a large new house on Pine Street in Boston; he expects Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Johnson to take some of the rooms. Oliver Johnson is still in Vermont with his dying father.
