May is very profuse in his thanks for a letter written by Estlin to Edward Tagart which appeared in "The Inquirer." May says he intends to have it printed in "The Liberator" and other American religious periodicals. May discusses Francis Parkman and quotes conversation with Dr. Ezra Gannett on the subject of abolition. He also quotes a conversation between Reverend Caleb Stetson and Dr. Parkman on slavery, and Dr. William Ellery Channing's funeral. He says that John Parkman, a nephew of Dr. Parkman, is going to England. He identifies a "Mr. Thompson from the U.S." as Mr. Pishey Thompson from Washington, D.C. May says the Reverend Frederick Henry Hedge of Bangor is in England. He refers to the Bridgewater and Boston invitations
