Letter from Samuel May, Boston, to Mary Carpenter, Nov. 2nd, 1847
Description:
May sends a few autographs and asks if Miss Carpenter would be likely to see Ralph Waldo Emerson during his trip to England.

No imagination of the evil results of one of these quadrennial plagues can equal, I had almost said, the reality."
