William Lloyd Garrison thanks Elizabeth Pease Nichol for her "bountiful and extended hospitality, for various tokens of your loving regard, for your pleasant companionship at Glasgow and in the matter of sight-seeing generally in the beautiful suburbs of Edinburgh." William L. Garrison had a calm passage from Liverpool to Queenstown. He will sail home on the Bothnia, "a magnificent ship of vast proportions." Joseph Lupton and Mary A. Estlin came to see him off. Henry Villard's health continues to improve, but Fanny Garrison Villard "has at last broken down." William L. Garrison received a tender and affectionate letter from Jane and Eliza Wigham. William L. Garrison writes: "I was deeply affected by the sudden death of our dear friend William Smeal, but feel unspeakably thankful that we were permitted to see each other again in gladness of spirit before I left Glasgow. His life was exemplary and serviceable to his race as it was long protracted."
