Description
Holograph, signed
Title devised by cataloger
Samuel May Jr. (Writers) informs Samuel J. May (Recipient) that Mrs. Chapman sent to Writer?s office the book Recipient had purchased from her. He then says he is trying to put together a collection of books for England, and talks about his plan to gather more books from the Philadelphia and New York offices. Writer is scheduled to visit Philadelphia to testify for William Still, who was sued by Ellen Wells for criminal libel. Writer advises Recipient against getting heavily engaged in field work at his age and to “take a little time for sweeping the moral horizon with [his] eye and telescope and show to others how the victory is to be won.” Writer ends the letter by praising the sermon William Henry Furness delivered on the previous day at the music hall. (“It was the most admirable, thorough, beautiful, and conclusive presentation of the Non Resistant, the no-physical Force Theory and Doctrine, that I ever listened to.” Furness pronounced Jon Brown?s method wrong, while praising his spirit.)
