William Lloyd Garrison trusts that John Anderson Collins will sail home on the ship on the 4th inst. Nathaniel Colver's attempt to injure Collins's character excites indignation. He comments on Colver's statement to Joseph Sturge that Garrison headed an infidel convention. Garrison defends his religious views. He agrees with [Quaker] Friends on the Sabbath, ministry, etc. Nathaniel Colver has mortal antipathy on the views of Friends. Garrison is grieved at Joseph Sturge's conduct toward him. Garrison regrets that Collins applied to the London Committee for aid. Garrison thanks Elizabeth Pease Nichol for her help. He has heard good news from the Chapmans in Hayti [Haiti]. John Quincy Adams is pleading the case of the Amistad captives.
