William Lloyd Garrison discusses the testimonial fund in his honor. Garrison writes to Samuel May: "Your very kind and considerate letter,---enclosing a check for $500 in my behalf on account of the Testimonial fund, and also the names of those obtained to the appeal,---was safely put into my hands, and read with heartfelt emotions of the gratitude towards yourself personally, and those who desire to show their appreciation of my past Anti-Slavery labors generally, by making my declining years free from pecuniary anxiety and embarrassment. The whole affair is an utter surprise to me. ..."
