William Lloyd Garrison thanks Louisa Loring for the gift of twenty dollars; it is especially timely since the Liberator fell about two hundred dollars short of expenses during the past year. Garrison appreciates the Louisa Loring and her husband Ellis Gray Loring: "Your friendship I prize beyond the value of rubies; and when I say yours, I mean, also, that of Mr. Loring;---for you twain are indeed one---one in affection, one in philanthropy, one in virtuous excellence, one in modest worth, and one in your long continued kindness toward myself."
