Letter from Samuel May, Boston, to Richard Davis Webb, Feb. 7, 1858
Description:
May discusses financial accounts. He says that Maria Weston Chapman declined the editorship of the "National Anti-Slavery Standard" and that the Executive Committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society is not wholly satisfied with Oliver Johnson, but will put him temporarily in Sydney Howard Gay's place.
