Miss Wigham mentions her late father's feeling of sympathy for the suffering of the Union soldiers. She is much cheered by the prospect of the conclusion of the war; the emancipation of the slaves in Maryland, Missouri, and West Virginia; and the passage of the thirteenth amendment. Miss Wigham says that she hopes that the pioneers in the abolition movement will see the end. She asks May to send a donation to William Shreve Bailey and gives instructions about certain subscriptions to "The Liberator."
