Description

In this letter, Samuel May Jr. (Writers) writes Samuel J. May (Recipient) a receipt for the bills paid for the Examiner and the Liberator, among others. Writer then expresses his sympathy for Recipient who is troubled by ́Brown's affair, ́ but says exposing Brown would be difficult. He says ́[t]he decision of the court is shameful, contemptible. If Republican wants to make capital with the class, to whom such a decision will be pleasing, it ought to forfeit the confidence of honest men. ́ He ends the letter relating news about family members.
