Description

Description from Internet Archive (opens in a new tab)

Holograph, signed "Your loving Father." William Lloyd Garrison received a telegram congratulating him on his 59th birthday, which was sent by Wendell Phillips Garrison. William L. Garrison writes: "It is a curious circumstance that Dr. Evans, of Boston, who is now giving me magnetic treatment for my ailments, and who, like Swedenborg, is able to see and converse with the inhabitants of the Spirit Land, was prompted to say, in behalf of some of my departed friends and co-laborers, that I had ten years additional of work to perform in the service of mankind before exchanging the mortal for the immortal life. And it is still more curious that several mediums, at different times, have volunteered substantially the same statement; all agreeing that I had yet an important mission to accomplish." He mentions the people who attended a large family gathering. William L. Garrison has inflammatory rheumatism in his knee
