Description
Holograph, signed
Title devised by cataloger
On verso, the delivery address is "Rev. Sam J. May, Syracuse, N.Y." Underneath the delivery address, a note says, "For only Rev. Mr. Samuel."
Writing to Samuel J. May (Recipient), Samuel May Jr. (Writer) apologizes for not having had time to read Recipient?s discourse on Adams and his address to the “Sons of Temperance.” Then Writer tells the Recipient about the burial of Mr. Henry K. May?s youngest son. After discussing a few parcels, Writer lists the reasons why he supports the efforts of Anti-Sabbath Convention. He then talks about an ailment of his wife and his family?s living arrangement for the summer, before expressing his wish to see Recipient in New York where the annual meeting of the American Antislavery Society and a meeting of the Unitarians are taking place. Writer ends the letter saying that the “French News” (presumably referring to French Revolution of 1848) will “startle the nations of the old world, and will perhaps teach a lesson to the new which will put it to shame.”
