Holograph, signedWilliam Lloyd Garrison was at Miss (Henrietta?) Sargent's with Mrs. Lydia Maria Child and others. Le Row will have to leave the anti-slavery office next week. John Cutts Smith wants to succeed him. They have heard from Amos Augustus Phelps that the bill for the admission of Arkansas as a slave state will not pass the U.S. House of Representatives for several weeks. Two hundred petitions were were printed and scattered through the Commonwealth for signatures protesting admission. Garrison heard an excellent sermon by William E. Channing, but he believes it was too Republican for his aristocratic congregation.
