Description

Holograph, signed "Your loving Father."William Lloyd Garrison was glad to receive a reply to the congratulatory letter he sent to Mrs. Mary Ashton Rice Livermore, who has just returned from a speaking engagement in London, where she was warmly welcomed. Garrison writes: "It shows how ready are my friends abroad to receive with marked cordiality those who carry introductory letters from me." He cannot understand how Mrs. Livermore "fell into such a narrow and disagreeable temperance circle in Manchester, ..." The weather is "wild and stormy." He mentions George Thompson Garrison's vacation trip to Osterville. Garrison says: "That was a narrow escape from death of my friend J. N. Buffum at Charlestown. He will doubtless suffer from his injuries for some time." William L. Garrison hopes to visit Alfred H. Love in PhiladelphiaAccompanied by an envelope addressed to: Frank J. Garrison, Firm of Houghton & Osgood, Boston, Mass
