Description
Holograph, signed
Title supplied by cataloger
May mentions meeting H. B. Hammond, a friend of Webb's who was formerly the United States consul to Dublin. He discusses the sale of Webb's, "The Life and Letters of Captain John Brown." May complains that certain European newspapers are constantly belittling Union military success and that Moncure Daniel Conway has changed Professor Francis William Newman's opinions on the war by a one-sided presentation of the facts. May defends the Lincoln administration and attacks the northern sympathizers of the confederacy. He holds that the secessionists repudiated the United States Constitution and explains the need for strong popular support of an anti-slavery measure in the United States. May discusses Goldwin Smith's lectures, the affairs of the Garrison family, the nomination of General George Brinton McClellan, and General John Charles Frémont's political misfortunes
