Garrison attended the funeral of Mrs. Jenkins. William L. Garrison says that "Mrs. Dall's father is dead." Joseph Ricketson died. William L. Garrison invited Charlotte Coffin to Thanksgiving dinner. William L. Garrison writes: "This forenoon Frank took young Gissing on a pedestrian excursion to Corey's Hill; after which they went to hear Mr. Vicent's friend, Rev. Reuel Thomas, preach, near by. The discourse was extremely orthodox. Frank has just gone to make a call upon Caroline Thayer."
