Description: Furness informs May that he has only one letter written by John Brown, a copy of which he would have sent had he had the time. He believes that the true nature of the South and its aristocracy has been revealed. He says that the abolitionists have been "compelling Slavery to show itself in its unutterable hideousness" and that "the Government is not warring against Slavery. It is simply recovering its stolen property."
Notes: Holograph, signed.
