Title:
Letter from Samuel Joseph May, Syracuse, [N.Y.], Oct[ober] 16/ 1862
Description:
Samuel Joseph May reports to William Lloyd Garrison that Mr. Slack had proposed a speaking engagement to him several weeks ago, but that he has not heard any further details of these arrangements from Slack. May relates that he was obliged to defer his planned travels to Boston on account of his grandson developing scarlet fever. May expresses his conviction that if "the neck of this injurious rebellion be not broken before the 1st of January" that they will discover the "plot against the life of our Republic" to be "deeper laid & wider extended" than they had previously imagined.
