In this letter, William Lloyd Garrison comments on England. He admires the landscapes of England, but could not enjoy it "because of the suffering and want staring me in the face, on the one hand, and the opulence and splendor dazzling my vision, on the other." The sudden death of Queen Victoria would start an overthrow of the monarchy. Garrison likes Scotland better than England. Garrison wants Nathaniel Peabody Rogers to be the editor of the National Anti-Slavery Standard, but he shrinks from the post. James Caleb Jackson refuses to be a permanent editor. Garrison comments on the World Convention and the London Committee. Garrison tells of a reception honoring him in Boston and another one in Salem. Henry G. Chapman had another attack of bleeding.
