"Holograph, signed. Brother James Holley Garrison died at 3 o'clock this morning. If possible, they would like George William Benson, Anna E. Benson, and Sarah (Thurber Benson?) to attend the funeral. Garrison writes: \"I intend that the funeral arrangements and ceremonies shall be as plain, simple, and free, as possible. Liberty of speech shall be given to all who may attend. I shall probably have a testimony to bear again[st] the war system, the navy, intemperance, &c. in connection with J's history, and also against that religion which sustains war and its murderous enginery.\" On verso, the delivery address is Anna E. Benson, Care of Wheaton of Anthony, Providence, R. I."
