<dd>Much of the letter is copied in an unknown handwriting, but the signature is in Samuel May's hand. The writing on the envelope is also May's, as is the note at the top of the letter, "Copy - S. M. Jr. to W. H. Channing."</dd>
<dd>Title supplied by cataloger</dd>
<dd>May argues that Oliver Johnson's remarks to the effect that Reverend Channing should have spoken against slavery on his return from Europe was not unjust or disrespectful. May complains that Channing is no longer associated with the abolitionists and that Channing has given "much countenance and aid" to Frederick Douglass</dd></dl><br>Subjects: Channing, W. H.
