Description: The newspaper article begins: "The Executive Committee of the National Testimonial to William Lloyd Garrison, in making a second report of subscriptions received for this object, wish to correct the impression somewhat prevalent, that the proposed sum of fifty thousand dollars has been already obtained. This is by no means the case; nearly twenty thousand dollars are still needed to complete this just and honorable tribute. ..." The money raised by the testimonial served as a retirement fund for William L. Garrison and "proof of the regard and honor in which his life and singular services are now held." The article includes a list of subscribers with amounts contributed to the fund. "The committee therefore invite all those who ... have not yet joined ... to lose no time in doing so ... All communications are best made to our secretary and assistant-treasurer, Rev. Samuel May, Jr. ..."
