"Handwritten copy of letter; not William Lloyd Garrison's handwriting. Whereabouts of original manuscript unknown. William Lloyd Garrison tells about a very pleasant Christmas Eve with his family: \"True to German custom, Mr. Villard caused a tall and shapely evergreen tree to be erected in our parlor, whereon were hung many beautiful ornaments and pretty gifts for our dear grandchildren--six of the eleven having been present to behold with wondering eyes and joyous spirits the really brilliant spectacle.\" William L. Garrison left a volume of John Greenleaf Whittier's Poetical Selections for Samuel May at Mrs. Boardman's. Garrison has considered publishing a collection of poems relating to philanthropy and reform. Mrs. Garrison \"is now very feeble.\""
