Holograph, signed with initials.
William Lloyd Garrison writes: "I am always conscious of speaking less fluently, and less satisfactorily to myself, when I am speaking for pay than when I am not. Most happy shall I be when my tour is ended, and I am once more by your side, and under our household roof, where I would always be as a matter of choice." William Lloyd Garrison says that Helen Eliza Garrison has endured her physical handicaps "with admirable resignation and patience." He suggests that Helen try a possible further trial of Dr. Dow's shock treatment. William L. Garrison discusses his finances. He regrets that he can't give Fanny more money for her wedding. Garrison elaborates on Fanny's situation: "Fortunately, Harry is abundantly able to provide for her as a wife, and will take delight in seeing that, as such, she lacks nothing conducive to rational enjoyment. It will be her duty to see that, in the excess of his generous desires, he does not spend his money too freely." Garrison gives instructions about the Liberator. He thinks that Charles King Whipple may not find it convenient to supervise the Liberator's operation.
