Title:
Letter from Samuel Joseph May, Lexington, [Mass.], to Horace Mann, Feb. 8. 1843
Description:
May seeks to allay Mann's fears that zeal for the cause of Abolition will cause May to neglect his duties toward the Normal School. May states that many of the pupils at the Normal School are abolitionists, and that his trip to Waltham with some of them did not result in neglect of his duties. He adds that he has abandoned the idea of giving a course of lectures on abolition. May concludes the letter by happily reporting that the Normal School is full and that some of the female students would like to study Latin.
