William Lloyd Garrison writes that his baby, Eilizabeth Pease Garrison, died this morning from lung fever. Garrison says: "No strange thing has happened unto us, in view of human mortality---nothing dark or mysterious; yet we feel our bereavement deeply and tenderly." They would like to have Theodore Parker present at the funeral tomorrow afternoon and "to express whatever sentiments the occasion may suggest."

The letter is signed: Wm. Lloyd and Helen E. Garrison.
