Title supplied by cataloger
May acknowledges the receipt of a letter from Samuel Joseph May, which he praises highly. He refers to Samuel Joseph May's gift to the "National Anti-Slavery Standard," which May misunderstood. He criticizes Sallie Holley for disregarding Samuel Joseph May's instructions that his donation was not for the "Standard," and for another breach of trust of a similar nature. May discusses the advisability of writing to the "Standard" to correct false impressions created by Wendell Phillips. He condemns Phillips' attacks on William Lloyd Garrison and says that Parker Pillsbury and others have quarreled with Phillips over the introduction of the question of women's suffrage. May thinks Phillips was right on this issue; he criticizes Pillsbury and mentions Lucy Stone. He tells about a meeting of the trustees of the Francis Jackson bequest and gives a history of his own connection with his Leicester congregation
