It is characteristic of the time that the bridal guests at this ceremony were reported in the public prints to have consisted of six whites and six blacks (Lib. 8.91)! A succinct account of the stirring events of the following week is contained in the following letter: W. L. Garrison to Mrs. George Benson. Boston, May 19, 1838. Ms. Dearly beloved mother: After an absence from home of nearly three weeks, I arrived here this morning, in much better condition, as to my health and spirits, than when I left.

As his table was underground, his lodging was far above ground. He had not his New Haven dwelling in New York. Such as he had there, he generously provided for us. He made us a nest on high. Not so high as his own—but still in the 3d or 4th story of a Wall Street cotton storehouse. There we lodged with the Liberator, Henry C. Wright and Geo. Benson of Connecticut,— on the soft side of the best accommodations at friend Van Rensalaer's command, and as good as we required,—better far than our poor plantation clients share. Brother Van Rensalaer would have gladly furnished us all a bed of down.

Ms. I am truly rejoiced (and so is Helen) to hear that mother Mrs. Geo. Benson. is willing to come to Cambridgeport again, and be with us during the winter. To Helen, her company and assistance are invaluable. I am at a loss to know how we can do without her. I am aware that there is nothing particularly attractive at our house to win her from Brooklyn; and this makes it more kind in her to be willing to take up her abode with us.
