Item Information

Title:
Letter from Samuel May, Jr., Dorchester [Mass.], to William Lloyd Garrison, Apl. 4 [1868]
Description:
Samuel May Jr. thanks William Lloyd Garrison for enclosing Powell’s letter. Mays says that Powell writes “in so good a temper,” which “[Wendell Phillips] never can manage to.” However, he comments that there is “a tone of superiority and judicial opinion, about his note, which is very amusing.” May goes on criticizing Powell’s charges against Garrison and May himself, saying that Powell misrepresents their positions. He also says their critics “have no right to assail the characters and moral intent of those who differ from them.”
