Holograph, signed.
William Lloyd Garrison's home was burglarized. He is declining to write both an autobiography and a history of the anti-slavery struggle. Garrison writes: "A fortnight ago, my beloved daughter in-law (Wendell's wife) was stricken with paralysis, combined with epilepsy, to the dethronement of her reason, and she is lying very low, and will probably survive only a few days longer. Indeed, with the mind gone, her recovery is not to be desired."
