Title
May, Sam[ue]l J., letter, Syracuse, [N.Y.], June 9, [1853], to [Joseph Parrish]
Description
The Rev. Samuel J. May reports that he has sent Peter Still's 200 dollars, as requested by William Lloyd Garrison and by the recipient, Joseph Parrish, and requests that if the current attempt to offer $3,000 for the freedom of Peter Still's enslaved family fails, then the writer’s nephew Mr. Hamilton Willis of Boston should be contacted, as the latter individual believes that he can obtain a more favorable price for Still’s family through “gentleman slaveholders whom he had befriended, and who live in Georgia.”
