Holograph, signed "Your loving Father."
For several days, it has been severely cold and raining steadily with large quantities of snow and ice. Agnes Garrison has chicken pox. William Lloyd Garrison writes: "Last evening the German class met at William's [William Lloyd Garrison Jr.], concluding the series." William Lloyd Garrison sends his review of Mrs. M. F. Pierce's "anti-woman suffrage 'Argument.'" In the postscript, William Lloyd Garrison writes: "I have scarcely seen anything of the Cochrane and Frothingham discussion about Gerrit Smith and John Brown in the Tribune." William Lloyd Garrison thinks Gerrit Smith must have known about the Harper's Ferry raid ahead of time. Bella Mack called on William Lloyd Garrison.
