Writes that he would like to arrange a meeting for "our friend P[arker] Pillsbury" and Lucy Stone at the town of Haverhill, Massachusetts on Sunday, 2 May. Asks that Harmon make arrangements to secure the availability of the town hall for the meeting.
The letter is only dated 27 April, with no year given. May mentions, however, that 2 May falls on a Sunday, so the year can be inferred from a perpetual calendar.
