Letter from Samuel May, Boston, to Mary Carpenter, Feb. 4, 1851
Description:
May begins with a long discussion of the condition and packing of the contributions to the Fair, then goes on to an account of the sale of Miss Carpenter's "Morning and Evening Meditations, for Every Day in a Month." He mentions his controversy with Dr. Edward Brooks Hall and informs Miss Carpenter that he used parts of his letters to Hall to make up an article for "The Liberty Bell." May refers to a lecture by "that monster, Orville Dewey," of which he strongly disapproved.
