William Lloyd Garrison writes to Henry C. Wright regarding "the legacy left you by Mr. Hovey, to pay one fourth of it over to us, for our benefit, as a token of your appreciation of our friendship and hospitality. If we decline receiving it for ourselves, then to deposit it for the benefit of Fanny and Franky." The Garrisons have decided to accept the money in trust for the benefit of their children. Garrison praises the moral courage of their departed friend Hovey. Because of bronchial problems Garrison declines Wright's invitation to join him on his tour in the West.
