May refers to an article in the "Spectator" about the treatment of Fenian prisoners in English jails. He criticizes England for its failure to punish such men as Governor Edward John Eyre of Jamaica and the captain of the British ship which sank the American ship, "Oneida." May mentions the prospect of settling the Alabama claims. He says he has been reading "Barchester Towers," by Anthony Trollope. He compares the book to Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell's "Wives and Daughters."
