When William Lloyd Garrison goes to Peterboro, New York, again he hopes Helen Eliza Garrison will accompany him, delivered from her "present paralytic infirmity; for great and unfeigned was their regret that you were not in proper condition to be one of our party." William L. Garrison left Gerrit Smith's home in Peterboro for Syracuse, where he and Fanny Garrison were met by Mrs. Samuel Joseph May and Charlotte Coffin. They drove around in Mr. Wilkerson's carriage and called on friends. Mr. Wilkerson is "very intelligent and agreeable, and from appearances must be doing a lucrative business." Mr. Samuel Joseph May is having difficulty walking, but "in other respects he appears to be in good health." William L. Garrison writes to Mrs. Helen E. Garrison: "I am glad you are having Mrs. French to try her healing powers upon you, and trust that the good Quaker physician, who is said to operate through her, will be able to give you very material assistance."
