William Lloyd Garrison heard that Fanny Garrison Villard has left the New York Hotel to go to the Westminster. The New York Hotel was a rendezvous for southern Democrats. William Lloyd Garrison expects Samuel J. Tilden to win the presidential election. There has been a drought in New England. Sarah Southwick is "habitually quiet," and William L. Garrison's house is "as still as the grave." He has been invited to dinner by Dr. Lucy Sewall, the daughter of Samuel E. Sewall. Garrison refers to the discovery that he was born in 1805, not 1804.
