Description

Holograph, signed.William Lloyd Garrison signs this letter "your loving father."William Lloyd Garrison can't attend the woman's suffrage meeting in Philadelphia next week because he has to prepare "a sketch of the anti-slavery labors of Samuel J. May for his biography, which George B. Emerson is writing." He was amused by Wendell Phillips Garrison's account of the reception for Christine Nilsson, which she failed to attend. William Lloyd Garrison writes: "I had seen and analyzed the poetical effusion of T. T. [Theodore Tilton] in The Golden Age, which you sent to William." He thinks that Theodore Tilton refered to his wife, Mrs. Tilton, in the fourth stanza. There is "a growing estrangement" between Theodore Tilton and Oliver Johnson. Tilton "almost sneered at" an article by Oliver Johnson in the Revolution. He hopes that Wendell Phillips Garrison likes the present location of the Nation. George Thompson Garrison seems to do "a good deal of work for a very small remuneration" in the manufacturing busines. The baby of William Lloyd Garrison, Jr., was four weeks old yesterday.
