William Lloyd Garrison summarizes the letter he received from George Thompson. Garrison heard William E. Channing preach and praises the sermon. Garrison had two interviews with Harriet Martineau. He is convinced that there is no danger of her printing anything hostile to the abolitionists or favorable to the Colonization Society. In the evening, Garrison went to a gathering at Ellis Gray Loring's house and discussed reform. Garrison was welcomed by his colored friends at an African meeting house. Garrison's sonnets on the birth of his son that were printed in the Liberator were universally admired and even made Amos B. Alcott weep. William Goodell drew up the memorial to be presented to the Legislature.
