Dear Mr. Garrison

Dear Mr. Garrison
First, a Chicago Tribune notice, then the Card in affectionate memory, and now the Woman's Journal with report of the death and the last loving tribute of Wendell Phillips and other friends, to the sweet and noble nature of your hearts beloved, met my eye here in the far West hard at work to help on the good cause she loved so well.
How beautifully serene she was that last November evening when I last saw her in your hitherto unbroken home- And how, with her bright face and cheerful voice did she ever welcome me to that home for every friend of the slave in Dix Place- I can remember as if but yesterday. She was to me, in Boston, what our dear friend Lydia Mott was in Albany- ever ready to second every plan for work- and to start out with me to help execute it. She was truly a blessed & blessing spirit here- and how much more so may she be in the beyond-
I knew, more than thirteen years ago, what it was to see my noble Father lain away to rest- and the world has seemed less to me ever since- but my dear Mother still lives to bless us with her loving presence- in her 83rd year- and makes to us, my sister Mary & I- all we have of home centre-
May your children long have the pleasure of their Fathers presence in the body- For however strong our faith in the future life- it does not fill the vacant places at our hearth stones-
With affectionate sympathy for dear Frank & William & Ellen & George & Wendell-& yes the dear Fannie - far away I fear- I am as of old-
Yours with almost Veneration-
Susan B. Anthony
