Title:
Letter from Samuel May, Leicester, [Mass.], to Mary Carpenter, Dec. 29, 1843
Description:
May describes the tenth Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Fair. He mentions Dr. Henry Bowditch as "being chiefly active about the Christmas tree." May says that James C. Fuller passed to him letters from George Armstrong and William James concerning the English Unitarian address. He asks Miss Carpenter to convey his thanks to Armstrong and James. May mentions an address on slavery sent from Dublin during the summer, which was fairly well received by "The Christian Register," a periodical unsympathetic to abolition. May recommends the publication of the address in "The Christian World."
