500 $aWilliam Lloyd Garrison is staying with John and Hannah Cox in Longwood, Pa. He was present at the burial of Mrs. Victoria Smith, the niece of Mrs. Oliver Johnson. Mrs. Victoria Smith was a believer in Spiritualism. Joshua Hutchinson sang a hymn for the occasion. George Thompson suffers from vertigo. Garrison regrets that his daughter Fanny was unable to get ready in time to go to Longwood. The summer season is more advanced than usual. William Lloyd Garrison discusses the electric shock medical treatments that his wife Helen Eliza Garrison is receiving: "As to yourself, every day brings you a shock; but as it is of an electric nature, and curative or partly remedial in its operation, I can only wish that you may have a shocking time of it to the end! Work with your willpower all you can in furtherance of the Doctor's efforts, and resolve that, so far as you are concerned at least, there shall be no such word as failure."
