In this letter, William Lloyd Garrison sends messages to George Thompson, William Smeal, John Murray, and Irish friends. The anti-slavery struggle at home increases in vigor, enlivened by the return of Wendell Phillips, Maria Weston Chapman, and John A. Collins. The next annual meeting of the Non-Resistance Society is in Boston; Lucretia Mott is expected. There was a frightful riot in Cincinnati started by a quarrel between white rowdies and black people. The city authorities sided with the white assailants. Garrison took a jaunt to the White Mountains with Nathaniel Peabody Rogers.
