Opis: Tributes to William Lloyd Garrison - Whittier John Greenleaf

Excerpt from Tributes to William Lloyd Garrison: At the Funeral Services, May 28, 1879

The announcement of the critical illness of Mr. Garrison, speedily followed by that of his death while absent from home, took his friends and the public on both sides of, the Atlantic by surprise; for though it was known that he had long been infirm in health, the vigor of his recent contributions to the public press (the latest of which, in denunciation of the Anti-Chinese Bill, and on the exodus of the freedmen from Mississippi and Louisiana to Kansas, had appeared within a few weeks) had made it difficult to believe that his health was at all precarious. Only his family and immediate friends knew that those letters were written while he was suffering such pain and discomfort that the feeling that he must lift up his voice, and bear his testimony once more on the question of human rights, alone enabled him to accomplish the task. The exhaustion and prostration which followed these efforts made it evident to himself that his forces were nearly spent, and gave his family much concern.

Even from Mr. Garrison's seventy-third birthday (December 10, 1878), his private letters were marked by forebodings of his approaching end, which he welcomed as a relief from his physical infirmities.
