Holograph, signed with initials.
William Lloyd Garrison (WLG) thinks that Fanny Garrison's marriage to Henry Villard will be "a very happy one." Dr. Mann is making William L. Garrison a set of false teeth. WLG writes: "Yesterday morning Charley McKim and a young friend of his unexpectedly arrived at our house---the latter on his way to Maine." Frank Wright's ball club defeated the Lowell club and won a silver cup. Mary Willey has been "quite unwell." Francis Jackson Garrison got his diploma from the Boston Latin School. WLG went to see Mrs. Potts at the McLean asylum. WLG voted against the First of August Celebration in Abington. WLG looks forward to Helen Eliza Garrison's return home.
