Description

In writing to William Lloyd Garrison, Samuel May Jr. talks about the failing health of Francis Jackson and comments that ́the early & original Abolitionists were surely a remarkable company of men and women ? select few gathered out of the nation?s million. ́ May then reports on the Annual County Meeting at Worcester, which he said did not accomplished much although it was a good meeting. Stephen Foster spoke in length to excite the audience?s attention but without real substance; A. T. Foss spoke briefly but well, Sallie Holley did not speak a word; Higginson?s speech did not clearly express his position on secession.
