William Lloyd Garrison tells of his visit to see Joseph Barker, which included a tour of his printing office and examining his steam powered press. Joseph Barker aims to "effect a revolution in this country" by providing the people with cheap literature. Garrison considers Joseph Barker a great thinker. Garrison dined with Joseph Lupton of Leeds and in the evening stayed with Mary Brady and Rebecca Brady in Sheffield. Garrison went to various places with friend James Wall and then dined at his home. They had a crowded and animated public meeting at the Quaker meetinghouse in Sheffield. There, Frederick Douglass sold a considerable number of his narrative. The poet James Montgomery was deeply moved. Garrison appealed to James Montgomery to write a poem about American slavery.

Letter to My Dear Wife (1846)

Mentions the Bradys.

William Lloyd Garrison reports on the success of the meeting in Sheffield. The poet James Montgomery was "deeply affected" by the public meeting "as the horrors of slavery were revealed." Garrison gratefully remembers Mary Brady and Rebecca Brady's hospitality.

Garrison visited Mrs. Rawson in Wincobank. On his return to London, Garrison did not "feel able, for economy's sake, to ride in what are called the 'first class' cars." The second and third class cars are like "Jim Crow" cars. Garrison describes a "triumphant" meeting in Exeter Hall in London. Garrison's speech was interrupted by rowdies, but applause overpowered opposition. Garrison criticized the sectarian character of the Evangelical Alliance. George Thompson and Frederick Douglass are effective speakers. Garrison is having a happy visit with the Ashursts; the weather in uncommonly fine. In Garrison's absence, Edmund Quincy is making the Liberator a "very racy sheet." Garrison describes the peculiar enmity of Henry Clapp toward Garrison. Henry C. Wright may return with Garrison. Frederick Douglass will stay till May. Garrison outlines his travel plans
