May discusses his correspondence and says that he has been disappointed in the anti-slavery sentiment in England. He says he could not understand the English inability to grasp the significance of the abolitionist doctrines and that he has been somewhat impatient with his country's slow trend toward the abolition of slavery. May thanks his English friends for a generous donation. In a continuation of the letter that is dated January 3, May tells Webb that he is sending a book by Senator Henry Wilson. He mentions differences of opinion among the members of the American Anti-Slavery Society and describes the role of Wendell Phillips in the dissension. In another continuation dated January 4, May tells why he favored Abraham Lincoln and asks Webb about the English pro-slavery reaction to William T. Sherman's march through Georgia. May discusses the Constitutional amendment against slavery, the Weston family, George Thompson, and the Garrison family
