William Lloyd Garrison thanks Oliver Johnson for the letter of condolence on the death of Mrs. Helen Eliza Garrison. Garrison writes: "Every time I come into my sitting-room, it seems as if I must still see her at the accustomed window where for more than eleven years she wont to be seated; but though I miss the bodily form, I seem to be impressed by her presence in a more vital sense, if possible. Nor do I find it difficult to believe that it is still in her power,--and, if so, then in her loving nature,--to be very near us all, even in the very room consecrated by so many tender memories." Mrs. Garrison died of pneumonia. Garrison thanks Oliver Johnson for the cabinet photograph of Oliver Johnson's little daughter.
Accompanied by an envelope addressed to: Oliver Johnson, Christian Union Office, New York City.
