Aaron Macy Powell informs William Lloyd Garrison that he has read "with great satisfaction" Garrison's statement of "the principles and objects of the Am. Anti Slavery Society" published in the previous issue of the "Liberator", which he declares to be a fitting retort to the "calumnies of Northern traitors". Powell inquires if the American Anti-Slavery Society publish this in the form of a "cheap tract" for distribution, and weighs in in favor of the idea. Powell reports that months of rest from speaking has invigorated his health, and asserts his desire to recommence his lectures in the service of the cause, albeit in a "more careful way than heretofore". Powell declares his wife's desire to join in the labor of the abolitionist cause, and inquires if she might be able to join him on his lecture tours to distribute tracts, solicit subscriptions, and collect funds. Powell requests that Garrison convey this request on their behalf to the Executive Committee
