Title:
Letter from Samuel May, Jr., Leicester, to William Lloyd Garrison, Tuesday, July 31 [1849]
Description:
Samuel May Jr. discuss his efforts to publicize the upcoming meeting on Friday through advertisements in local papers and handbills. He discusses the venue, mentioning that although he prefers the indoor setting for speeches, it probably is too late to make a change given that the event has been publicized already. He also discusses Charles Allen who probably will attend the meeting, and expresses his disdain for Theobald Mathew (whom he compares unfavorably to Daniel O'Connell).
