May informs Webb that he was worried about the success of the subscription anniversary, "especially in view of Mrs. Chapman's entire withdrawal - & not withdrawal only but distinct advice & effort against our doing anything more as an Antislavery Society." May discusses the Weston family donations. He says that Mrs. Chapman's actions did not prevent the Society from raising more money than it expected, but that very little money was received from England. May comments on English pro-Southern feeling and mentions a contribution from Judge Samuel Gale of Montreal.
