Letter from Samuel May, Leicester, [Mass.], to Charles Calistus Burleigh, April 14, '61
Summary
May tells Burleigh that "the news of the disastrous result at Ft. Sumter quite unfits me for writing." May acknowledges receipt of the annual report manuscript for the American Anti-Slavery Society and gives instructions concerning the report. He discusses the merits of the different anti-slavery papers as source material.
