"Holograph, signed \"Your loving Father.\" William Lloyd Garrison begins this letter: \"I have been baffled till now in answering your most filial letter with reference to the completion of my seventy-third birthday; and for all your loving expressions accept a fatherly benediction.\" Garrison derives great satisfaction from the fact that his children have no cause to be ashamed of his career. Garrison writes: \"In return they have been to me my comfort and pride, not only for their filial love and devotedness, but for their disinterested affection for each other, and their most exemplary lives.\" He is pleased that they have learned to follow their own \"convictions of duty.\" Garrison tells about he birthday presents he received from his children. Mrs. Samuel May Sr. turns 91 years old today. Rebecca Bradford died in Paris three weeks ago."
