Title:
Letter from Samuel May, Jr., Leicester, [Mass.], to William Lloyd Garrison, Dec[ember] 19 / [18]68
Description:
Samuel May, Jr. writes that he has just read Garrison's article appearing in the Independent on the "scandalous & really inexcusable" statement of "Beecher & Co.", and asserts that he read it with the same pleasure he took "10 to 30" years ago reading "the rebukes of the false, worldly, heartless priests" published by Garrison in the Liberator. May states that he will soon begin reading Garrison's article upon the "early stages" of the "Woman Question". May exhorts Garrison to write a chapter in his memoirs on the "annexation" of "A.S. agitiation" with Christian thought and practice in the United States and England. May informs Garrison that he is in the midst of "cataloging our Town Public Library", and that he is "somewhat behind" in the task. May states that he had spoken with Lucy Stone concerning the proposition put forth by the heirs of Francis Jackson, and states that they have concurred that they would agree to the proposition provided that $3000 of the $9000 paid should be earmarked for the cause of Women's Suffrage.
