Letter from Samuel May, Jr., Leicester, [Mass.], to William Lloyd Garrison, June 10 / [18]74
Description:
Samuel May, Jr. writes Francis Jackson Garrison stating his hopes that William Lloyd Garrison will send to him the "circular concerning Nell's family". May states that he sent to Mrs. Nell the sum of $10 which he attests was intended to defray the costs imposed by William Nell's "sickness & funeral", and states his wish to do "something more" for Nell's family, as he presumes them to be now penniless. May requests that Garrison forward his ordered books to an address in Boston where they will remain held for him to pick up upon his next visit.
