<dd>Pillsbury sends a clipping titled, "Slavery" from the January 19, 1856 issue of "The Inquirer." The article mentions the fact that President Franklin Pierce upheld slavery in his message to Congress, delivered in advance of the election of a Speaker of the House. The article also mentions the pro-slavery book by Amelia M. Murray. A message in Pillsbury's hand reads, "Mrs. Turner has just sent me the Enq. and now you have the whole article."</dd></dl><br>Subjects: May, Samuel, 1810-1899; Murray, Amelia M.
