Holograph, signed
The morning meeting was held in the immense hall. The speakers were Thomas W. Higginson, Parker Pillsbury, Robert Purvis, and Wendell Phillips. There was an even greater enthusiasm at the evening meeting. The Rev. Mr. James Renwick Sloane, a Covenanter, gave an "impressive speech of a most radical character." There were other speeches made by Dr. William Henry Furness and Charles Lenox Remond. Wendell Phillips "surpassed himself in a magnificent speech of upwards of an hour." The strongest declarations were most enthusiastically applauded. William Lloyd Garrison met J. C. Underwood, who was compelled to flee from Virginia because he favored John C. Fremont for President. Garrison gives news of George William Benson and family. Garrison saw "Miss Safshefka," whose Women's Institution was inaugurated today. (Misspelling of Dr. Marie Elizabeth Zakrzewska, who opened the New York Infirmary for Women and Children.) Garrison mentions the various delegates and friends present at a private meeting. Garrison expects to speak tonight. The Rev. O. B. Frothingham is to speak this forenoon
