Description: Samuel Joseph May writes William Lloyd Garrison informing him that he has only just heard of the death of "dear Mary". May states that both he and his wife desire to know "all about this event which must have filled all your hearts with poignant sorrow", and offers his regrets that he was unable to break free the previous week and journey to Boston. May praises Mary's character and faith, and writes at length concerning their friendship, asserting that she was as a sister to him.
