Holograph, signedTitle devised by catalogerManuscript addressed from "9 Burroughs Place Boston"Samuel May, Jr. joins his "sorrow, grief, & tears" with Garrison's on the death of "dear, good Edmund Quincy". May recounts the death of Quincy as relayed to him by a friend, who informed him that Quincy "seemed as well as usual", then took ill without warning, and died "almost immediately" upon being laid on a sofa in his home's parlour. May asserts that, without having "direct knowledge of the particulars" that Quincy died of apoplexy. May states that he had long expected Quincy to be "one of the longest-lived of any of our old antislavery company".
