Letter from Samuel May, Leicester, (Mass.), to Hannah Webb, Sept. 18, 1853
Description:
May says he had wished to hear from Mrs. Webb "favourable tidings" of her husband, Richard Davis Webb and mentions the recent death of his sister in law. He expresses regret for the shipment of books that was damaged in transit and discusses certain business matters. May informs Mrs. Webb that Robert Folger Wallcut will send a partially complete set of "The Liberator." He gives a sketch of Orestes Augustus Brownson. May inquires about the status of "The Anti-Slavery Advocate" and asks if it will be continued before correcting errors found in the first volume of the "Advocate."
