William Lloyd Garrison is relieved to hear the news of Henry Egbert Benson's improved health. Garrison comments: "One of my cherished maxims is, that it can never be a calamity for a good man to go to heaven, either sooner or later." He gives family news. Henry B. Stanton has lectured thirty-six times in three weeks. Henry B. Stanton, Amos Dresser, and Theodore D. Weld will attend the annual meeting in Boston. On New Year's Day, Henry Chapman gave Garrison a generous gift of a hundred dollars.
