Description
Holograph, signed
Title supplied by cataloger
May discusses William Lloyd Garrison's trip to England. He comments on the fact that Garrison lived through thirty years of strong opposition to the abolition of slavery before the country changed its ways. May says that he has heard from Louis Alexis Chamerovzow that former enemies of Garrison among the English have changed their attitude. He rejoices over the beneficent results of the abolition of slavery. He discusses Webb's projected trip to the United States and the English contributions to the "National Testimonial to William Lloyd Garrison." May sends the details of business accounts. In a continuation of the letter dated July 31, May responds to a question posed by Webb, saying that he believes Garrison to be the greatest living man and that he is undecided as to which of the female abolitionists is the greatest living woman. He mentions William H. Forbes and sends two newspaper clippings about freed slaves and reconstruction
