Holograph, signed "Your loving Father."
William Lloyd Garrison is looking for "the letter of my Lynn friend, William B. Oliver, containing the extract from Timothy Pickering's Life relating to my mother." He is sorry to hear that Wendell Phillips Garrison is having trouble with the printing establishment used by his company. William L. Garrison offers financial help. William L. Garrison writes: "To-day there is to be a meeting of citizens in Faneuil Hall to ratify the proposed compromise in Congress for the settlement(?) of the Presidential imbroglio." William L. Garrison thinks Samuel Jones Tilden will win and the southern Democrats will come back into power. He mentions the defeat of Senator Boutwell and praises Senator Hoar. Mrs. William Lloyd Garrison Jr. may accompany Mrs. Osborne to New York.
