Letter from Samuel May, Boston, to Richard Davis Webb, Dec. 9, 1862

May says that the ladies have decided to hold another Subscription Anniversary. He tells Webb that he does not want the "National Anti-Slavery Standard" to cease publication until slavery is abolished. He discusses the sale of Webb's "Life and Letters of Captain John Brown." May says the President is undaunted by the Democratic successes in certain states. May quotes Webb as saying that there was in England, "a hostility or antipathy to the experiment of a great and powerful republic and consequently a pro-Southern feeling."
