Holograph, signed.

William Lloyd Garrison introduces the bearer of this letter as being Edward M. Davis of Philadelphia, a son-in-law of James and Lucretia Mott. Garrison is attending the anniversary meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society. Since George Thompson's visit, there has been a mighty change in public sentiment here. Garrison assures Thompson of his affection. Garrison refers to accounts of the mighty movements in England that are calling for the "overthrow of the hideous apprenticeship." Abolitionists are anticipating George Thompson's return to the United States. Theodore D. Weld and Angelina E. Grimké are to be married next week.
