Letter from S. Alfred Steinthal, Bridgewater, [England], to Samuel May, June 28th, 1854

Steinthal sympathizes with May about the case of Anthony Burns and asks if further effort on the part of his Anti-Slavery Society would do any good. He also inquires as to whether "The New York Inquirer" is right in saying that certain southern senators wanted to extend the conditions of the Fugitive Slave Law to Canada. Steinthal informs May that he was unable to get his representative in Parliament to bring up the Glasser case.
