The same reasons that compelled Samuel Joseph May to leave the agency of the Massachusetts (Anti-Slavery) Society forbid him to return to it "or to any other office that would take me so much away from my family---I hold that husbands and fathers are as much bound by their domestic ties as wives and mothers are, and may not with any greater propriety neglect their households for any more public cares."
