William Lloyd Garrison thanks Wendell Phillips Garrison for the invitation to visit him. He feels disinclined to leave Mrs. Garrison on account of her fainting spells and he doubts that he will go to New York with Henry Villard. J. Rogers, the sculptor, wrote that he plans to replace the head, on William Lloyd Garrison's body in a sculpture depicting a group of people, with a better one. [The sculpture is entitled "The Fugitive's Story."] Daniel and Lucy Thaxter liked all the figures except Garrison's likeness.
