Excerpt from Letters and Memorials of Wendell Phillips Garrison: Literary Editor of the Nation 1865-1906

The letters here printed are, naturally, such only as came to hand. The family and friends of the late editor are under genuine obligations to the corre spondents who thus risked a publicity which, on due reflection, will not be misinterpreted or misconstrued. Though they omit certain sides of his tastes and interests, they are a fairly characteristic selection. Evidently it arranged itself into certain groups, and was intelligible only by virtue of such arrangement. The later letters, containing some autobiography and purely personal details, could hardly be spared by those who loved the writer. T hey offer an image of the defeated hopes and the pathetic ironies which are common to us all, faced with the courage and sweet reasonableness which was his abiding trait. He was disappointed of that long Indian Summer which he had earned, that scholarly calm and leisure which would have blest his friends with its mellow fruit.
