Isabel Jennings read with anxiety about the illness of the "matchless Garrison." Jennings meditates on what a country America will become when slavery is abolished and the country becomes less materialistic. Jennings comments that "Irishmen have too much contempt for the advantages gained by money." Dr. [John Pringle] Nichol of Glasgow will be the bearer of this letter. Dr. Nichol is an astronomer, and "he is a most delightful man---refined, poetical, intellectual and warm-hearted." She hopes that Dr. Nichol will call on Maria Weston Chapman.
