Popis: The Rev. Samuel J. May acknowledges the receipt of Peter Still’s letter sent from New Bedford, Mass.; relates that the price of slaves is now such that 5,000 dollars, not 3,000 dollars, likely will be needed to purchase the freedom of Still's family (but encourages Still to continue fundraising nonetheless); states that he has not heard any news from Alabama through either Mr. Birney in Philadelphia or Mrs. Pickard; and notes that he is returning Dr. Furness’ Seth Conklin narrative (via his son, John Edward May, who is traveling to Boston to give it to William Lloyd Garrison).
