Description

Title devised by cataloger
Samuel May Jr. (Writer) starts this letter to Samuel J. May (Recipient) by discussing the health of several family members, including Recipient?s wife, Writer?s father and Writer?s sister. He then moves on to report that the Executive Committee of the American Antislavery Society voted to have the organization?s annual meeting in New York City. He says that William Lloyd Garrison is against going to New York, and that having a successful meeting in New York will be a challenge. But he thinks it would “behoove” them to try. After mentioning unusually high demands for the Liberator in recent months, Writer confided with Recipient about his feelings about Horace Mann, who wrote “a most insulting article” about Wendell Phillips, which was publish in Liberator after “a large member of fiery and bitter expressions were mollified.” Writer says that, although he wants to “build up” Horace Mann than Pull him down, Mann has “most unfortunate temper.”
