William Lloyd Garrison recalls the hospitality he received in Syracuse, especially from Stephen Smith and the late Wing Russell. Garrison received a copy of a Syracuse newspaper containing a complaint of a discourse delivered by Samuel Joseph May on peace; Garrison is glad of May's stand. Garrison calls attention to phonography and phonotypy invented by Isaac Pitman and compares this discovery to that of printing. Garrison is taking lessons in stenography, "in the rapidity of writing," with Mr. Augustus F. Boyle.
