Item Information

Title:
Letter from Samuel May, Boston, to Richard Davis Webb, Jan. 16, '63
Description:
May responds to a query from Webb's January 3, 1863 letter in which Webb asks "how it happens that more anger has been shown to England, for refusing to interfere with your affairs, than with France which proposed to do so." May says he thinks that Americans had a right to expect better treatment from a nation so closely allied in race and culture. He discusses the Morrill tariff and praises the Manchester Address to the President. May asks Webb to have General Benjamin F. Butler's farewell address to the people of New Orleans and his speech at New York published in "The Daily News."
