Writing, June 19, 1855, to William Lloyd Garrison, Jr, who is in Lynn, living with the Buffum family. “I hope you will strive in every way to make as little trouble as possible. Every new addition to a family adds to the care thereof. Be faithful in the discharge of your duties. Punctuality, order, dispatch, accuracy — these are the qualities to be cultivated by everyone engaging in active business. … Whenever or wherever you can be useful, be prompt to assist, even though at some inconvenience and trouble..” (Source: readinggarrisonsletters)
