Source Description
May says he received the third portion of the annual report of the American Anti-Slavery Society that Burleigh sent to him on the 24th. After mentioning that the committee found the report to "be of greater bulk" than preferred, May states that no one "sees where it can be curtailed." He concludes by asking where the proofs should be sent.
