Holograph, signed "Your loving Father."
William Lloyd Garrison sends a photograph of Wendell Phillips to Wendell Phillips Garrison. He comments apologetically on Wendell Phillips's recent conduct but reminds Wendell Phillips Garrison that Wendell Phillips was William Lloyd Garrison's "eulogist and defender against the fierce assaults that were made upon me from every quarter, and in various ways strengthened my hands and cheered my heart to an extent that it would be difficult for me to describe or measure." Wendell Phillips provided Wendell Phillips Garrison with a college education, for which he should show his gratitude whenever possible. William L. Garrison writes: "Harry [Henry Villard] came down from Northampton last evening. He is looking and feeling very unwell, and is very much dispirited as to his future prospects and possibilities. I hardly know what to advise him. Pecuniarily, it will be far easier for him to cover his family expenses in Germany than here."
