In this letter to William Lloyd Garrison, Samuel Joseph May writes he "often lament[s] that I see so little of you. It would do my heart and soul good to see you daily." He then says the one subject he wants to converse with Garrison "more at length than I ever have done [is] the Sabbath" since he "do[es] not accept the opinions" of Garrison. May remarks that his "mind is much devoted to the Peace question" and he "look[s] forward to the [planned peace] Convention with high expectation." He then sets out his plan for the convention to have committee chairmen bring detailed reports to be adopted, and he lists some individuals and the reports they will submit.
