William Lloyd Garrison writes that it is quiet at home with Helen, Frankie, and Willie absent. William L. Garrison has begun to sit for his portrait, which is being painted by Mr. Pope, a "handsome, gentlemanly man." As a member of one of the military companies, Mr. Pope had a hand in the recapture of poor Anthony Burns. Garrison comments: "But such is the slavish subserviency of the soldier to the summons of the government." Mr. Wilson says that he must have a cloudy day to revise William L. Garrison's portrait. Garrison gives news of acquaintances. Garrison comments on the launching of a war steamship in the navy yard.
Includes envelope, with the delivery address: Mrs. Helen E. Garrison, Care of Henry Anthony, Esq., Benevolent Street, Providence, R.I.
