Title:
Letter from Samuel Joseph May, Syracuse, [N.Y.], to William Lloyd Garrison, Jan[uary] 7. 1860
Description:
Samuel Joseph May writes William Lloyd Garrison his concerns over Garrison's health, owing to the absence of Garrison's presence in the pages of the Liberator, and inquires of Garrison's present condition. May asserts that, in the event he is mistaken concerning Garrison's health, his desire that Garrison join them on their "Anti Slavery Course" and deliver a lecture. May states his wish to hear news from Garrison concerning what "has been done or can be done" regarding agents in England, and offers brief thoughts on the project to send abolitionist books to England, Scotland, and Ireland.
