William Lloyd Garrison plans to set forth lines and review William Ellery Channing's book. Garrison writes: "Now, Dr. C. brings two grievous (because slanderous) accusations against the whole body of abolitionists---to wit, that they are fanatics, and that something has probably been lost to the cause of human liberty by their efforts!!" Channing's book should be reviewed "sharply." Garrison asks William Goodell if his late strictures on Gerrit Smith were merited. Garrison discusses Francis Wayland's Elements. Garrison urges Goodell to go to Utica and he praises his work as an editor of an abolitionist or reform paper.
