Title:
Letter from Giles Badger Stebbins, Hopedale, [Massachusetts], to Samuel May, 1853 June 17
Description:
Giles Badger Stebbins writes to Samuel May accepting his invitation to attend the meeting of the Worcester County North Anti-Slavery Society "at Princeton the 26th and also at Abington the 4th with pleasure." Stebbins then offers to attend any Sunday conventions where May might need additional speakers, citing the meeting on the 19th at Abington as one particular meeting which he could attend if he is needed. After his autograph, Stebbins continues and asks Robert Folger Wallcut to read the letter and respond if May is not present. In the postscript, he adds that he left "a copy of a report by R.R. Gurley of his Mission to Liberia ... a pamphlet of some 80 large pages" in the antislavery office and he asks for it to be left on a shelf in the back of the office until he can retrieve it.
