Title devised by cataloger
Samuel Joseph May informs William Lloyd Garrison of his rejoicing at the "evidences" given by Garrison through his articles published in the Independent of a "restoration" of Garrison's "mental, as well as physical vigor". May praises Garrison's article attacking the "misrepresentations" abounding in the eulogy of Dr. Leavitt. May inquires if Garrison has any recollection "in spoken word, or by letter", of expressing satisfaction with or indebtedness to "May or Lyman" concerning their actions on October 21, 1835, when Garrison was attacked by a mob in Boston. May states that Wendell Phillips's lecture on the event published in the National Anti-Slavery Standard, coupled with the claim of Lyman's son to possess a letter from Garrison on the matter, has stoked his curiousity on the subject. May writes of his decision to bequeath to the Library of Cornell University the entirety of his anti-slavery literature collection, and admits to his reluctance to part with the volume of Garrison's writings in his collection. May informs Garrison that he has received a letter from Richard D. Webb, and that his upcoming plans include visiting Gerrit Smith and spending three days at the "Central New York Conference of Liberal Christians"
