William Lloyd Garrison came to this place one week ago with Frederick Douglass to complete his mission in Ohio before leaving for Buffalo. They held a large meeting in a damp grove. Garrison's labors the last four weeks have been excessive. He was seized with fever and pain and "felt indescribably wretched." He is under the care of Dr. Williams, a homeopath. His case was diagnosed as bilious, with a tendency to typhoid. Now convalescing, he hopes to leave in a week. Everybody is offering assistance. He is staying with "one of the best families in the world," Thomas Jones. He intends to spend a day with Samuel Joseph May in Syracuse.
