May informs Webb that his daughter is a better correspondent than he is. He tells Webb that is has become difficult for him to write much. He refers to a visit of Sarah Pugh and says that she is trying to unite the Lucy Stone faction with the other groups in the women's suffrage movement. May discusses the differences between the various factions. He says that Lucy Stone's husband is a "very weak brother" and somewhat politically-minded. May discusses the Musical Festival in Boston, a speech by Charles Sumner, and the book by Camillo Benso conte di Cavour, "Thoughts on Ireland: Its Present and its Future." May says that the Irish Americans are joining the Republican party. He contends that England must pay for the damage caused by the Confederate privateer, "Alabama." May praises Thomas Crofton Croker's "Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland."
