Holograph, signed "Your loving Father."
Letter written in pencil.
On the train ride to New York, William Lloyd Garrison spoke to an unnamed Scotchman and Dr. George B. Loring. He hints at a romance in Francis Jackson Garrison's life. He describes the rooms occupied by the Villard family in the Westminster Hotel. William L. Garrison received social calls from Mrs. Sarah S. Savin, J. B. Richards and his son, the colored minister Charles B. Ray, and a son of D. L. Grandin. Garrison declined an interview from a New York Herald reporter.
Includes an envelope with the delivery address: Mr. Francis J. Garrison, 125 Highland Street, Roxbury, Mass.
