Description

Holograph, signed "Ever your loving Father."William Lloyd Garrison writes: "We were all made glad by the Thanksgiving visit of George, at the same time regretting that you and Lucy, and the two darling boys, could not be with us to sit at the festive board, and make our family circle complete. We fortunately had Mrs. Wright and one of her granddaughters with us, so that we made a goodly company." Little Helen Villard is sick. Harold Villard will be one year old on December 3. The monument to Henry Clarke Wright has been erected by Photius Fisk. Garrison refers to the spirit message from Henry Clarke Wright pointing out his burial place. Garrison thinks that Wendell Phillips is doing badly in his attempt to become a political leader. Garrison had an article about the third party organization in the last issue of The Independent.
