Description

Handwritten copy of letter; not William Lloyd Garrison's handwriting. Whereabouts of original manuscript unknown.William Lloyd Garrison was sorry to hear that Samuel May has been troubled by eczema and hopes that he consulted Dr. White. Garrison gives his thanks for Samuel May's letter printed in last week's Christian Register concerning "the outrages perpetrated by the unsubdued Southern rebels upon the colored population in that section." He notes that the northern Democratic papers make no attempt to expose the atrocities. Garrison writes: "I am still fearing the results of the Presidential election." He discusses the political situation in general. He tells of his visits to Osterville and the White Mountains. The Villards are going to California. Garrison says: "Probably Sarah Southwick will help Frank and myself to 'keep house.'"
