Title:
Letter from Parker Pillsbury to Samuel May, 1853 June 24th
Description:
In this letter to Samuel May, Parker Pillsbury agrees that Giles B. Stebbins would be a good lecturer for the western tour and he praises Stebbins as "good & true, every inch there is of him." Pillsbury also tells May that Sallie Holley held "excellent meetings in Weare, Concord, Milford, & Canterbury." He planned to describe the meetings in a letter to the Liberator but remarks, "that her name is so often lauded in its columns." He then discusses his own meetings, calling them "rather successful."
