Title:
Letter from Samuel May, Boston, to Richard Davis Webb, March 7, 1848
Description:
May sends to Webb a box "containing mainly copies of the 16th Annual Report of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society." He says that the Anti-Sabbath Convention has aroused the indignation of the clergy and that he thinks the anti-slavery cause is making good progress. May tells Webb that "we have never had plain antislavery so talked in Congress as during this winter." He mentions the death of John Quincy Adams and denies that he was an abolitionist.
