Last week, William Lloyd Garrison sent Samuel May Jr. photographic views of Franklin and Summer Streets. William Lloyd Garrison explains: "Please accept them as a slight token of my regard, and gratitude for the immense benefaction you have bestowed upon me and mine, and which is always in our remembrance." Garrison has just received May's letter thanking him for his criticism of Judge Pitman in the last week's issue of the Independent. Garrison disapproves of the way "politicians undertake to disparage, or represent as impotent, the thirty years of moral and religious agitation for the overthrow of slavery, and to exaggerate the labors of those Senators and Representatives in Congress whose position was secured wholly by that agitation, is really amazing." Gerrit Smith also congratulated Garrison on his criticism of Judge Pitman.
