May, Robert Purvis, Bartholomew Fussell, Enoch Mack, J. Miller McKim, Thomas Whitson, James Mott, and James McCrummell. were present; and the racy and delightful reminiscences of the first Convention which were given by Samuel J. May, J. M.

How good and true she has always been! wrote Samuel J. May, on hearing of Mrs. Garrison's paralysis. Unselfish, she has always found her own happiness in promoting the happiness of others. She was born and brought up in a family that seemed to me full of lovingkindness; and I considered her the mos eulogized him.

I was glad to see that you were able to be at the anti-slavery meetings, wrote Samuel J. May to Mr. Garrison, and to attempt to qualify the only expression that marred the excellence of what Mr. Phillips said. It does seem to me that Mr. Lincoln has shown himself anxious to be and to do right, though liable to err through the influe

I confess, I do not feel competent to the mighty task, and fear I shall make a failure of it, if I try. Nearly two years later, in writing to Samuel J.
