Ball describes how he met Cresson at Dr. Thomas Hodgkin's house and they all discussed whether Cresson "would meet Will[ia]m Lloyd Garrison in Public Discussion." He says that both Hodgkin and Cresson wished instead for a "private discussion" but while Ball "fully admitted the eligibility of a Private conference as a preparatory measure for a Public one but never should I as a substitute for it." He tells Garrison that they agreed Cresson would be given "Garrisons Charges against him - in writing - and that to those Elliot[t] Cresson should reply in writing."
