Description
Holograph, signed
Title supplied by cataloger
May severely criticizes Daniel Webster, as well as Moses Stuart and his "double-tongued pamphlet on Conscience and the Constitution." He says that Henry Clay's Compromise Bill was defeated in the Senate. May informs Miss Carpenter that he had a long conversation with her brother, Russell Carpenter, who saw "many extenuating circumstances in the character, position, education, temptations of the slaveholder." May refers to the circular letter of the Glasgow friends, which he feels "need not occasion [them] a great deal of alarm or trouble." He tells Miss Carpenter that he does not recommend the publication of her anti-slavery poems, for those individuals who would most benefit from the poems' content never read them
