William Lloyd Garrison tells of his comings and goings between George William Benson's home in Paterson, N.J., the office of The Nation, and Wendell Phillips Garrison's home in Orange, N.J. The weather has been very hot. William L. Garrison will interview Ellen Dow for possible employment at Rockledge. William L. Garrison writes: "I have spent an hour at the Tribune office with Oliver Johnson, (by the way, you forgot to enclose his letter, but it is of no consequence now,) and half an hour with Theodore Tilton in his office, receiving warm greetings from each." He saw George W. Smalley, who told him that Mrs. Phebe Smalley's health was delicate; they live in London and have three children. Mr. Palmer, who is more or less deranged, called on Garrison. Thomas Earle died.
