Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Samuel May, Jr. writes William Lloyd Garrison that he had received Garrison's letter while en route to the mountains, where he is accompanying a friend who is beset by asthma, and thus in need of assistance with his travels. May declares that Garrison's thoughts on Greeley are "fit to print", and states that he himself lost confidence in Greeley mid-way through the Civil War, charing him with "timid, faltering, & cowardly behaviour". May declares that Greeley's nomination is a "Southern" one, and predicts that if elected, it will mark the "return of the South to power & control". May criticizes Frank W. Bird, and states his agreement with Garrison that it is Charles Sumner who is responsible for the "re-habilitation of the old, condemned Democratic party".
