William Lloyd Garrison describes his journey via Providence to Boston. A reception was given for Garrison at Mary S. Parker's house. Plans were made at Samuel E. Sewall's office for the hearing before the Legislative Committee the next day. The evening was spent at Mrs. Maria W. Chapman's house. Garrison tells about the hearing at the State House. In the gallery were the Westons, Chapmans, Harriet Martineau, Mrs. Eliza Lee Cabot Follen, Dr. Channing. The defence was represented by Samuel J. May, Ellis Gray Loring, William Goodell, William Lloyd Garrison, and Charles Follen. Samuel J. May and Charles Follen were rudely interrupted. Another hearing will be held next week.
