Title devised by cataloger
Samuel May, Jr. states his belief that it is "highly proper" that W. Sewell be appointed their Chairman, unless Garrison himself should desire the post. May states that he initially wished Garrison to be the Secretary, but that he had come to realize that Garrison had little inclination for the post. May states that he is too occupied at present to accept the Secretary post, or to compose the "full statement of our position" for inclusion in their records. May inquires if Garrison, acting either as President or as Chairman of their Committee, might be able to prepare such a statement for May to enter into the official records, provided that the Court awarded them control of the records. May states that it is "about time" for Wendell Phillips to "begin his maledictions upon the Court and ourselves". May closes in announcing his joy at the safe return of his son Edward, who was absent for nearly three years
