Description

Handwritten copy of letter; not William Lloyd Garrison's handwriting.William Lloyd Garrison thanks Louisa Loring for the gift of twenty dollars; it is especially timely since the Liberator fell about two hundred dollars short of expenses during the past year. Garrison appreciates the Louisa Loring and her husband Ellis Gray Loring: "Your friendship I prize beyond the value of rubies; and when I say yours, I mean, also, that of Mr. Loring;---for you twain are indeed one---one in affection, one in philanthropy, one in virtuous excellence, one in modest worth, and one in your long continued kindness toward myself."Merrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison, v.3, no.92.
