Item Information

Place of origin:
Roxbury, [Mass.]
Language:
English
Notes:
Holograph, signed "Your loving Father."
The Villards think that Wendell Phillip Garrison looks overworked. William Lloyd Garrison says: "I pray you to ease off as much as possible, and get what recreation you can. You have had too heavy a burden to carry for a long time." William Lloyd Garrison is glad to hear that James Miller M'Kim is slowly regaining his health. He thinks M'Kim should stay indoors until milder weather prevails. The weather in April has been unusually severe. Garrison writes: "We are getting along with our Germanized grandchildren, in the matter of understanding each other, quite as well as could be expected." Garrison is sending two photographs of himself, one by (Eliphat J.) Foss and the other by (James Wallace) Black. Garrison's new horse and carriage should prove useful. Garrison says that "to-morrow Carl Shurz is to deliver his oration on Charles Sumner."
