William Lloyd Garrison tells about the death of his baby who was named after Elizabeth Pease. He dwells on the child's uncommon beauty and the grief of her mother, Helen Eliza Garrison. At the funeral, a select number of friends, including Wendell Phillips and Theodore Parker, spoke. Henry C. Wright is urging Garrison to take the water cure with Dr. Ruggles. Garrison praises Dr. MacLeod and thanks Elizabeth Pease Nichol for a copy of his medical work. Henry C. Wright is to work in Ohio this summer. Mrs. Maria W. Chapman is leaving in June to go to Europe for two or three years.
