In this letter, William Lloyd Garrison introduces David T. Kimball and Daniel E. Jewett of Andover Theological Seminary, who are proceeding to the Philadelphia convention on foot and stopping in New Haven on the way. He expects George William Benson and John Prentiss to entertain them in Providence. Garrison remembers his visit with Benson's father and the "pleasant countenance" of Miss Ellen (Helen Elizabeth Benson Garrison). The Young Men's Anti-Slavery Association of Boston has upwards of 90 members. He asks George W. Benson if he likes Daniel O'Connell's speech. Garrison pities Elliot Cresson.
