William Lloyd Garrison would have gone to Mehitable Haskell's funeral, but he had agreed to attend John C. Wyman and Lillie B. Chace's wedding. Garrison thanks Wendell Phillips for the pamphlet on money. He does not consider the money problems of the country important, but believes that "the paramount issue before the country" is the freedmen's loss of their civil rights. Garrison criticizes Benjamin Franklin Butler for his failure to protect the rights of black people.
