Title:
Letter from Samuel May, Boston, to Richard Davis Webb, Jan. 31, 1860
Description:
May thanks Webb for sending funds to Harriet Martineau and remits him a bill for the amount paid. May doubts if Webb can complete his file of the "National Anti-Slavery Standard" without purchasing a complete set from someone who subscribed from the beginning. He then discusses James Redpath's "The Public Life of Capt. John Brown," portraits of John Brown, and contributions at meetings held in his honor.
