Samuel May, Jr., tries to puzzle out the directions concerning a box of contributions for the New York anti-slavery fair. He knows very little about it and cannot find the box. He inquires if Miss Weston or her sister, Deborah Weston, knows anything about it. He mentions receiving various bills of lading from Edinburgh, etc. "Mr Garrison went home today full in the determination to prepare the 'Bell' article at once." Samuel May is exceedingly busy and does not have time to write an article at the present time.
