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.
