Letter from Samuel May, Jr., Leicester, [Mass.], to William Lloyd Garrison, March 10 / [18]79
Description:
Samuel May, Jr. forwards to William Lloyd Garrison an edition of the newspaper from Seneca Falls in which appears a letter from Garrison to Richard P. Hunt dated May 1, 1840. May thanks Garrison for his delivery of several copies of the Tribune containing Garrison's editorials on the "Anti-Chinese doings", and calls the recent actions of California vis-à-vis the Chineses immigrants "very bad and disgraceful". May asserts his expectation of "all manner of abominable things from the new Congress". May inquires if there is "no probability that a public meeting" would be held that spring in honor of the late George Thompson.
