William Lloyd Garrison says he heard from William Lloyd Garrison Jr. that James Miller M'Kim's "symptoms are again quite unfavorable, so that he requires an additional quantity of morphine to alleviate his pain and quiet his nerves." William Lloyd Garrison regrets that morphine had to be used, which suggests that the end of J. M. M'Kim's life must be near. William L. Garrison wants to know whether he should come to Orange Park to see J. M. M'Kim. William L. Garrison says: "Harry [Villard] will leave for New York to-morrow, on his way to Oregon."
