May criticizes James Redpath's "The Public Life of Capt. John Brown," saying that "its most objectionable feature is [...] the prominence it gives to John Brown as a fighting man." May hopes that Mrs. Lydia Maria Child will write another version of Brown's life, "which will do full justice to Brown's great thought, and generous, tender character." Over half of this letter is comprised of May's handwritten copy of some remarks on Senator William Henry Seward's speech from February 29th.
