aking off the dust of our feet, etc., etc. W. L. Garrison to his Wife. Pittsburgh, Aug. 12, 1847. Ms. Thursday A. M. I endeavored to complete a letter for our serious regret we found that the ticket which Douglass obtained at H. for Pittsburgh enabled him to go directly through in the 2 o'clock stage, while I should be did reception given to him in all parts of Great Britain! On his arriving at Pittsburgh, however, a different reception awaited him, which was also intended for me.stown [Ohio], Aug. 16, 1847. Ms. I scribbled a few hasty lines for you at Pittsburgh, just before leaving that busy, though dingy and homely city—a city which so n an omnibus, some three or four miles, accompanied by several of our colored Pittsburgh friends—J.

stone, and a brickbat just grazed his head. All the venom of the rowdies seemed to be directed against him, as they were profoundly ignorant of his character. . . . On Sunday forenoon and afternoon, we addressed our colored Aug. 8. friends in their meeting-house at H., at which a number of white ones were also present. The meetings were crowded, and a most happy time we had indeed. Not the slightest molestation was offered. On Monday, we left Harrisburg in the cars for Aug. 9. Chambersburg, a distance of fifty-four miles. On arriving, to our serious regret we found that the ticket which Douglass obtained at H. for Pittsburgh enabled him to go directly through in the 2 o'clock stage, while I should be compelled to wait until 8 o'clock (it proved to be 11 o'clock) in the evening. This was annoying and unpleasant in the extreme. Douglass had a hard time of it, after we parted. The route over the Allegheny mountains, although a very beautiful and sublime one, is a very slow

been wet to the skin nearly all the time. To make frequent and long harangues, under such circumstances, is quite overpowering. I have never perspired so much in my life. The quantity of water thus exuded through the pores of the skin has astonished me, and I marvel that anything is left of me in the shape of solid matter. Saturday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, Dr. Peck (he is a fine, Aug. 14. promising colored young man, son of my old friend John Peck, now of Pittsburgh, and formerly of Carlisle), who has lately graduated at the Rush Medical College at Chicago, Douglass and I, took passage for this place (a distance of forty Youngstown, O. miles) in a canal-boat, it being the first trip of the kind I had ever made on a canal. The day was excessively hot, and on the way one of the horses was almost melted, and came within a hair's-breadth of losing his life. Colored persons are not allowed, usually, to sit at the table at regular meals, even on board of these paltry canal-boats,

here on Sept. 14. Tuesday noon. Your improving husband. Nothing but the indiscreet newspaper report of Mr. Garrison's condition could have justified his putting pen to paper at this stage of the disease. The relief which it brought to his distracted wife was followed by a fortnight of acute anxiety before her husband's recovery could positively be announced. On October 4 he was able to Lib. 17.162. dictate letters, but was still confined to his bed, which he Ms. Oct. 17, 1847, Thos. McClintock to W. L. G. did not leave till October 13. On the following day he was joined by Henry C. Wright, who had returned from Europe in September, and, hearing in Boston first on Lib. 17.151, 174. October 8 of his friend's condition, had travelled as fast as the elements would permit to his bedside. On the 18th the sick man, after five weeks of prostration, during which his life had hung in the balance, was able to drive out. Lib. 17.175. W. L. Garrison to his Wife. Cleveland, Oc

ia Mott. Next we went to Leesburg, the residence of J. W. Walker—a long and tedious ride. Stopped on the way overnight at a tavern in Zoar, a place owned by an association of German Noyes's Am. Socialisms, p. 135. communists and highly improved. We held several meetings at Leesburg—attendance small, but much interest manifested on the part of those present. A Methodist priest wished to know whether I believed in the inspiration of the Bible. This led to a rich scene. Stopped with Mr. Millisack, an old subscriber to the Liberator, who has a beautiful situation. On the way from Leesburg to this place, stopped for the night at a miserable tavern in Augusta, and arrived here yesterday Sept. 4, 1847. morning, and had the happiness to obtain a letter from you, giving me the assurance of all being well at home. Of course, I devoured every word of it greedily. We have held four immense meetings here—two yesterday Salem, O. and two to-day—five thousand persons on the ground. O

Rev. Theodore Parker, in this city. He styled it, in his notes of invitation, a Council of Reformers, and the object was to discuss the general principles of Reform, and the best means of promoting it. Let me give you the names of some of those present—Ralph Waldo Emerson, Amos B. Alcott, William Henry Channing, James F. Clarke, William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Edmund Quincy, Mrs. M. W. Chapman, Mrs. Follen, James and Lucretia Mott and daughter of Philadelphia, Caleb Stetson, John L. Russell, Francis Jackson, Charles Sumner, Samuel G. Howe, E. H. Chapin, Joshua P. Blanchard, Samuel E. Coues of Portsmouth, Elizur Wright, Jr., Walter Channing. I have not yet given all the names. It was a matter of deep interest even to see this collection of the men alive of our neighborhood and day. From 4 to 10 P. M., with a short interval for tea, a most spirited conversation was held on all the great Reform subjects of the day. I am more than ever convinced that the Anti-Slavery Reform

we held one together in the same place, crowded to overflowing.—[August 13.] Yesterday, Friday [Thursday], we held three large meetings, two Aug. 12. of them in the open air, and concluded last night with the greatest enthusiasm. I have seen nothing like to it on this side of the Atlantic. The place seems to be electrified, and the hearts of many are leaping for joy. This morning, Saturday [Friday], we are off for New Brighton, where we are to have a meeting this afternoon, Beaver Co., Penn. and others to-morrow. I have not a moment of time, scarcely, left to myself. Company without end—meetings continuously from day to day—little or no sleep—it is [with] the greatest difficulty I can find time to send you a single line in regard to my tour. As for the Liberator, I cannot give any sketch for the public eye, but hope to be able to do so in a few days. W. L. Garrison to his Wife. Youngstown [Ohio], Aug. 16, 1847.

In the morning we rode over to Twinsburg, where we Aug. 24. found collected in a beautiful grove about a thousand persons, whom Douglass and I addressed at great length, both forenoon and afternoon. Douglass almost surpassed himself. It was a most gratifying occasion to all, and a good work was done. We were all hospitably entertained by a stanch abolitionist, Ezra Clark, a subscriber to the Liberator. As at New Lyme, Painesville, Munson, and other places, multitudes crowded around us to give us their blessing and God-speed, and to express the strong gratification they felt to see us in the flesh. A great many anti-slavery publications were sold, subscribers obtained for newspapers, etc., etc. Before dark we left for this place, at which to tarry overnight at the house of Deacon Ellsworth, on our way to Oberlin.
