Letter from Samuel May, Boston, to Richard Davis Webb, March 11, 1856
Description:
May discusses shipments of books and other material. He says that he doubts if William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips ever met Amelia M. Murray. May says that he and his friends have been amused by the mistake of certain French and Belgian newspapers in thinking that Nathaniel Prentiss Banks was an African American. May mentions Edward Everett's political campaigning and says that "it is pitiable to see this old hack running round for votes."
