<mods:abstract>Samuel Joseph May writes to Mary Anne Estlin in regards to sending her a newspaper containing a report of the city meeting he attended. This report contained information on a Traffic affair and sympathy towards the family of John Brown. He has sent Edwin Chapamn the last member of the Anti-Slavery Standard. He talks about John Brown and says, "I cannot approve John Brown's resort to an expedient which involved the danger of so much bloodshed. But I honor his spirit of self sacrifice-and reverence his magnaminity." He writes of his time in Liverpool before his departure, mentioning that he gave an anti-slavery speech on the last day. His daguerrotype arrived and he is pleased with it. He writes of all the women, including Lucretia Mott, Lydia M. Child, and Maria W. Chapman who are doing more for the antislavery cause than most others.</mods:abstract>
