May sends a receipt for the box of reports. He tells Webb that the Senate passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act and that the course of lectures at the New York Broadway Tabernacle was concluded with a lecture by Ralph Waldo Emerson. May adds that the lectures have been very successful, owing chiefly to the work of Oliver Johnson. He says that a course of lectures is being given in Boston, the first speaker being Reverend Henry Ward Beecher. May suggests that Webb consider persuading Anne Warren Weston to publish her correspondence in "The Anti-Slavery Advocate," saying "if you feel that a regular communication, fresh from this side, would help ["the Advocate"], I don't know the person who would do the work so intelligently, thoroughly, and acceptably to all readers." May tells Webb he is sending a dozen copies of the "Hartford Bible Convention's Discussion." In a continuation of the letter dated March 7th, May speaks of a session of the Senate concerning Stephen A. Douglas and inquires about the health of the Estlin family.
