Title:
Letter from Ezra Hervey Heywood, to Samuel May, 19 (Dec. 1860)
Description:
Heywood tells May that he changed a lecture assignment for H. Ford Douglass. He says that the balance of the Tract Fund is very low. He praises Wendell Phillips and Lydia Maria Child for their conduct during a riot. Heywood says he expects further trouble and hopes "the blow may fall on some of us youngsters who can be more easily spared." He thinks the Mayor might side with the mob against the abolitionists.
