Letter from Samuel May, Jr., 21 Cornbill Boston, to Samuel Joseph May, Feb 2 / [18]60

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.
