"Holograph. This unfinished letter was presumably addressed to Samuel May Jr. William Lloyd Garrison describes his sufferings caused by eczema: \"At the end of a fortnight I was measurably relieved of the pressure; but there followed throughout my system, leaving not an inch exempted, a most intolerable burning and itching, which continued night and day, (more aggravated in the night,) and which nothing alleviated whether the varied treatment was internally or externally applied. The torment was like unto the 'everlasting burnings' of the Calvinistic place of punishment for the incorrigibly impenitent: it almost drove me frantic. ...\" Garrison did not receive a permanent benefit from Dr. Dow's treatment."
