Holograph, signed.
William Lloyd Garrison asks whether the insurance taken out for him by Samuel Joseph May covers the injuries he sustained in two recent bad falls, which he describes in detail. Drs. Geist, Cotting, and Munroe have examined him and prescribed treatments. Garrison is thinking of seeing Dr. Stephen Sweet of Franklin, Conn. Garrison writes: "Dear Charlotte Coffin is now with you, and will confirm what I have written about my injury." Garrison sends his sympathy to Samuel J. May: "You need no assurance that we have all most deeply sympathized with your afflicted son, and all your family, in the sad bereavement to which he and you have been so recently subjected."
