William Lloyd Garrison delines the invitation to speak in Providence because of prejudice against him. George Thompson may arrive in time for a debut in Providence. At the invitation of Rev. Ray Potter, Garrison will address the Pawtucket Anti-Slavery Society. The speeches of Samuel J. May and Amos A. Phelps were well received by the Salem convention. The Rev. Philleo advises Prudence Crandall to continue her school. The Connecticut legislature has not repealed the law against Crandall's school. Isaac Knapp's health is poor.
