    "description": "Joshua H. Robbins writes to Samuel May suggesting a travel schedule for C.C. Burleigh. Robbins thinks Burleigh should leave Boston on Thursday evening and \"come direct to Mr. Charles Sears's,\" promising to meet him at the stage stop. This will allow them to begin the meeting on Friday, but Robbins states, \"it would be equally so if it did not commence untill [sic] Saturday.\" He asks May to send him some handbills and suggests that Burleigh could next hold meetings in North Dennis, Hyannis, Osterville \"& perhaps Centerville.\"",
