William Lloyd Garrison's principal source of income is writing for the Independent. He complains about the high cost of living. He praises the Independent for having so "practical" material, instead of the "pious platitudes of T. L. Cuyler." He asks Oliver Johnson about a botanist by the name of W. R. Prince, who advertises a cure for catarrh. Francis Jackson Garrison has the same trouble. Mrs. Helen Eliza Garrison's ill health worries William Lloyd Garrison. Mrs. Garrison is very anxious to see Fanny Garrison Villard. Henry Villard has been ill with a fever while in Naples, Italy.
