Letter from Samuel May, Boston, to Richard Davis Webb, Nov. 10 and 11, 1861
Description:
May sends a box of anti-slavery books and pamphlets. He says he has sent 150 copies of the 27th annual report of the American Anti-Slavery Society and provides directions for their distribution. He acknowledges receipt of Webb's "The Life and Letters of Captain John Brown," which he praises highly, and he encloses a lock of John Brown's hair from Wendell Phillips. May mentions the circular letter sent out by the Ladies' Committee of the Anti-Slavery subscription committee.
