William Lloyd Garrison's eczema is improving, but it is still quite bad. He is also troubled by an infestation of mosquitoes and is unable to sleep. Wendell Phillips, Senator Henry Wilson, and John Bartholomew Gough failed to appear at the temperance meeting yesterday. Garrison writes: "I see that W. P. [Wendell Phillips] has at last accepted the Temperance as well as the Labor Reform nomination. This attempting to sit on two stools at the same time is a dangerous matter, or at least a very difficult one."
