May announces the shipment to Estlin of periodicals and other items, including a "Panorama" of Boston from the top of Bunker Hill. He says Boston is a pro-slavery community due to the city's cotton mills. He reports that the annual meeting of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society was very successful and that two escaped slaves, William Craft and his wife, were in attendance. May says that his wife sends Miss Estlin a copy of "Leaves from Margaret Smith's Journal" by John Greenleaf Whittier. May discusses Ohio's "Black laws" and mentions the attempted revival of religion by Unitarians
