Description: May writes to McKim regarding the circular letter that Garrison, Philips, and May co-authored. The circular letter states that the National Anti-Slavery Standard is at risk of being discontinued. Informing that the publication?s editors and other agents are reducing their salaries, the letter asks for contributions. May wishes McKim wouldn?t mind being one of the co-receivers of replies. May then says he communicated to Wendell Phillips about a  ́Black Law in Pennsylvania, ́ about which McKim had written to May. May also says he does not think Phillips was overly severe on William H. Seward or John Albion Andrew.
