Letter from Samuel May, Jr., Leicester, to Samuel Joseph May, February 16, 1836

Samuel May Jr. (Writer) praises a report of the Massachusetts Antislavery Society written by Samuel J. May (Recipient), and expresses his disappointment in that Recipient did not visit him while attending a meeting in Millbury in which the Antislavery Society for the south part of Worcester County was proposed. Writer tells Recipient that the affair involving John Gray appears to be not as bad as Recipient seems to fear. Finally, Writer mentions a few people who emigrated westward for the antislavery cause, and says Dr. [Whitcomb] intends to join the company of emigrant.
