Of course there are some things which I could wish were otherwise, but, then, in your life you doubtless have learned that we can't always have everything just as we want it. I do not see just now how I shall get along during the remainder of this year; ...\" Milford asks William Lloyd Garrison for advice and suggestions regarding this matter.",
