E. Louisa Thompson Nosworthy informs William Lloyd Garrison of the death of her father, George Thompson. Nosworthy recounts to Garrison her father's condition and final days, stating that he was not bed-ridden until the very end, and asserting that he lapsed into a coma immediately prior to his passing. Nosworthy writes that, at the moment of death, a "look of seraphic beauty" came over her father's face, which she interprets as a proof of his apprehension of the "glories of heaven"
