Title:
Letter from Samuel Joseph May, Syracuse, [N.Y.], to William Lloyd Garrison, June 12 1851
Description:
Samuel Joseph May writes William Lloyd Garrison inquiring if he believes either Sidney Gay or Oliver Johnson might be able to loan to Robert Bond the sum of $10.00, as Bond, whom May states is currently lacking in employment, reported to May the theft of his entire savings. May informs Garrison that Bond believes that his inability to find journalistic employment in New York City is due to "the secret influence of the Herald". May offers his regrets that he will be unable to join Garrison the following week as proposed, and asks Garrison to give George Thompson his best wishes for the latter's return to England. May reports that the unfavorable (if minor) impression made by Mr. Webster on the public follows his own expectations, and asserts that while he pities Webster and the "desecration of his noble powers", he believes that Webster merits the "severest condemnation".
