Holograph, signed
William Lloyd Garrison spent the day at Thomas Chandler's, the brother of the lamented Elizabeth M. Chandler. Garrison passed an hour at Elizabeth Chandler's grave, where he "pencilled a Sonnet on the post of the railing erected around the deceased, expressive of my estimate of her virtues, and the feelings of my heart." Garrison gives details of his journey leaving Adrian, describing the country and towns. In Battle Creek, Garrison was met by Richard Merritt. Garrison stayed at the house of Richard Merritt's father. The numerous anti-slavery lectures have left little impression here on account of the bigotry. Garrison spoke in a Friends' meeting house. Tomorrow, he will speak in Detroit. Much excitement has been caused there by Stephen S. Foster and Abby Kelley Foster. He compares the Detroit Free Soil paper to James G. Bennett's Herald. Garrison expects to be slandered and assailed
