Holograph, signed
Title devised by cataloger
Annotation on verso (page no. 4) of manuscript reads "S. J. M. Syracuse, Dec. 23, 1863"
Samuel Joseph May informs William Lloyd Garrison that the report of the Philadelphia meeting proceedings published in the National Anti-Slavery Standard is "on the whole very correct", and that it makes May's "rattle" on the first day of the meeting "appear much better than I feared it would". May notes that there are some inaccuracies which he would like to see corrected in the Liberator, and details these for Garrison's benefit. May writes that he has been suffering from a "severe cold" since parting with Garrison and returning home, but adds that their Philadelphia meeting was "an event to be forever remembered". In a postscript, May adds a note of pity for "poor Orson S. Murray", whose proposed resolution offered at the convention was unheard by half of the audience, and ignored by the rest. May notes that none but Murray would have voted for his resolution were it brought to a vote
