William Lloyd Garrison just received a telegram from Joseph Lupton that George Thompson died. William L. Garrison writes: "No tears for the departed champion of freedom, now freed from all his trials and sufferings, except years of gratitude for his noble and unselfish labors to bring the hideous system of chattel slavery to an end throughout the world, and to lift up from the dust the down-trodden natives of India." William L. Garrison urges Fanny Garrison Villard to write a letter of condolence to Mrs. Louisa Thompson Nosworthy, George Thompson's daughter.
