Samuel Philbrick calls to William Lloyd Garrison's attention the "importance of avoiding some omissions" that Philbrick fears, if continued, will "greatly impede [Garrison's] success & prosperity in carrying forward the greatest & most sublime reform every undertaken by man". Philbrick informs Garrison that he must not neglect to forward donations received while on his lecture tours to the Treasury of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, provided that they were given to Garrison on the understanding that they were intended for the Society, and not for Garrison himself. Philbrick stresses to Garrison the "vital importance" of ensuring the "most exact & punctual promptness" in forwarding his material for the Liberator to the printer in time for the newspaper to meet its publication deadline.
