"Holograph, signed. Samuel May, Jr., asks Maria Weston Chapman to write a notice in the Standard of John Bishop Estlin's \"Brief Notice of American Slavery, etc.\" [The work referred to is A Brief Notice of American Slavery, and the Abolition Movement., by John Bishop Estlin, 1846.] In consideration of his own intimate correspondence with Mr. Estlin, Samuel May wants someone less biased than himself to write the review. He was pleased to see E. Quincy's notice of the tract in the latest issue of the Liberator. The letterhead on page one of this manuscript consists of an engraving (print) depicting a slave woman in chains, with the caption: \"Am I not a woman and a sister?\""
