Description

Holograph, signed "Your loving Father."Mrs. Helen Eliza Garrison has been ill with a bronchial infection. William Lloyd Garrison elaborates on his wife's condition: "Dr. Geist still attends her. I have never known her spirits to be so depressed as they have been of late; partly, however, because for much of the time she has had no friends to visit her, and Miss Dow is not congenial companionship." Theodore Tilton charges William L. Garrison with criticizing Wendell Phillips "because he was in favor of prolonging the existence of the American Anti-Slavery Society." William L. Garrison mentions a tea set that was a gift to Mrs. Wendell Phillips Garrison. Wendell Phillips Garrison should have allowed William Lloyd Garrison Jr. to cancel Wendell Phillips Garrison's promissory note. William Lloyd Garrison Jr. says he will write to Wendell Phillips Garrison when his hand gets better.
