Description:
Samuel May, Jr. writes to William Lloyd Garrison expressing his concern for Garrison's health, advising him to refrain from "tasking" himself too strenuously, and states his pleasure in learning that Helen's health had recovered. May states that he has been busy "at work upon a Catalogue" for the recently-relocated public library. May states that he has recently received a copy of Samuel Joseph May's memoirs, and states his hopes that Garrison's health will be preserved long enough for him to complete his own authobiography.
