William Lloyd Garrison appreciates that the Christian Union published his "tribute to the character and labors of our departed co-workers in the broad field of reform, James Haughton and Richard D. Webb." He also desires "that the noble conduct of [Daniel] O'Connell should be remembered in refusing to be silent on the subject of American slavery, let the consequences to Ireland and the Repeal movement be what they might." Garrison wants his sonnets printed "all together" in the Christian Union. He tries to make "the impiety of any human being, assuming to be infallible, revolting to common sense and true reverence, no matter what might be his religious faith." Garrison says there are many Protestants who claim to be infallible.

Accompanied by an envelope addressed to Oliver Johnson, Office of the Christian Union, New York City.
