Letter from Samuel May, Leicester, Mass., to Richard Davis Webb, May 22, 1859
Description:
May disclaims responsibility for any error in Robert Folger Wallcut's list of subscribers in arrears. He expresses concern for Mary Anne Estlin's failure to pay her subscription fee and worries that she may have sent the money to Webb, who may have neglected to record the payment. May tells of the publication of the annual reports for the American Anti-Slavery Society and arranges for their shipment overseas. He discusses Sarah Parker Remond, mentions the "depravity of morals" in America, and in a continuation of the letter dated May 23rd, gives an account of Charles F. Hovey's will.
