Description
Holograph, signed
Title devised by cataloger
Samuel May Jr. (Writer) mentions to Samuel J. May (Recipient) the arrival of his new born daughter, before discussing a recent occurrence, which presumably happened during a large meeting in New York (“?the low, brawling, degraded gang which were let loose upon us ? It was a most humiliating scene, but one to be remembered?”). He says Garrison handled the situation with “self-possession, dignity and firmness.” Writer tried to dissuade Frederick Douglass from speaking because he feared for Douglass?s life, but after Grant?s assertion that colored men are inferior to the white, Douglass needed to speak out, and in fact gave a “most felicitous speech.” Mr. Furness enjoyed the speech very much and delivered a beautiful speech himself as well. Finally, Writer expresses his disagreement with Recipient that [Remond] is good for the American or Massachusetts Antislavery Society
