In this letter, William Lloyd Garrison thanks Robert Purvis for his hospitality; Garrison is nostalgic for Philadelphia. He describes the worst New England summer since 1816. Garrison is planning a possible lecture tour through the free states for the purpose of "vindicating the rights of the free people of color, and forming anti-slavery societies." Arthur Tappan and the Rev. Peter Williams approve of this.

There are two items enclosed: the original manuscript by William Lloyd Garrison and a copy. The copy is not William Lloyd Garrison's handwriting.
