Holograph, signed "Your loving Father."
William Lloyd Garrison is pleased to hear that Harold Villard's ear is nearly well and Helen Villard's health is improving. He warns against the epidemic of diphtheria in New York. Sarah Southwick had to "go to Portland on a contested Will case of her aunt Morrill." The weather has been very cold and stormy. Francis Jackson Garrison went to Horace Cheney's funeral. Collector Simmons was obliged to dismiss Robert Folger Wallcut from the service of the Treasury Dept. William Lloyd Garrison went with Ellie Garrison to the last matinee concert of Madame Essipoff [i.e. Anna Nikolaevna Esipova]. "Lizzie Simmons and Mary Wells Cram were also present" at the concert. Garrison briefly mentions social calls.
