<mods:abstract>Samuel Joseph May writes to Mary Anne Estlin in regards to his duties as a minister, President of the City Board of Education in Syracuse, Secretary of the Freedman Relief Association, Chairman of a Committee for the entertainment of a Hopsital for the Sick, and a superintendant of the missions to two tribes of Indians-"one seven miles, the other twenty five miles from Syracuse." He recalls pleasant memories with Mary Anne in England and remarks that she was "not only a personal friend but a friend of Humanity." He hopes she has received his newspaper articles informing her of the progress of the Freedman's cause. He writes that the U.S. President has "lost the confidence of the best part of the Republican Party. This may throw him into an alliance with the Democrats who have long been the political allies of the Southern aristocrats and the opponents of the rights of the bondmen. I fear the freedmen are to be left to suffer much at the hands of the ex-slaveholders."</mods:abstract>
