On pages one through three of this manuscript, there is a letter by Mary Carpenter to William Lloyd Garrison. Mary Carpenter hopes that Garrison will come to Bristol.
On page three of this manuscript, there is a separate note by William Lloyd Garrison, written in Oxford, England, on June 16, 1877, when he received this letter by Mary Carpenter. He was startled to find in the London Daily News an announcement about the sudden death of Mary Carpenter on Thursday night of heart disease. Garrison believes this manuscript "is probably the last epistle she ever wrote. Blessed be her memory evermore!"
