Augustus Garrett’s will provided for Eliza and some of his relatives but made no charitable bequests. Augustus never intended to do anything philanthropic with his wealth, even though he sometimes made vague statements about knowing that he should. “He knew his duty but he did not do it,” as Goodrich phrased it:

[Garrett] repeatedly expressed his conviction that with his activity of mind and restless energy, he could never live a christian unless he devoted his energies and wealth to founding and building institutions for the Church. “He knew his duty, but he did it not,” and as a consequence he lost his religion and the offered crown of glory. In December, 1848, he was summoned into the presence of his Judge, and his widow was left to perform the great work which he had refused to do.13
