Title:
Letter from Samuel May, Jr., Boston, to Wendell Phillips Garrison, May 16, 1867
Description:
Samuel May Jr. writes to Wendell Phillips Garrison about a recent court hearing in which Wendell Phillips tried to make a case for the importance of the National Anti-slavery Standard. Phillips referred to the fact that scarcely no other paper covered William Lloyd Garrison’s recent lecture as a proof of the value of the Standard. May asks W.P. Garrison how his father’s speech ended up being printed in the Standard, as W. L. Garrison has mentioned to May, when Oliver Johnson at the Independent was not even aware of the lecture.
