Notes:
Holograph, signed with initials.
William Lloyd Garrison went to Providence with Henry Anthony. Charlotte Anthony was soliciting aid for the "Shelter," of which she seems to be the principal support. Garrison writes: "Julia Adie came over to take tea with us, and I promised her that I would dine and take tea at her father's house to-day." Garrison thinks that Frederick Anthony is taciturn and undemonstrative. He is engaged to Julia Adie. Garrison mentions seeing Phoebe Jackson, who "has grown flabby." He went to see Dr. Dow's new establishment. William Lloyd Garrison cautions Mrs. Garrison against "sitting too long at the window" on cold days, and advises William Lloyd Garrison Jr. to give the medicine a fair trial. William Lloyd Garrison will go to New York tomorrow.
Includes the accompanying envelope, with the delivery address: Mrs. Helen E. Garrison, Highland Street, Roxbury, Mass.
