Description

Holograph, signed.This letter is written on a printed copy of "The Crowning Crime of Christendom" by James Hurnard.Title supplied by cataloger.Pillsbury attacks Louis Alexis Chamerovzow very vehemently. He comments on Chamerovzow's letter to Mary Anne Estlin. Pillsbury says that George Thompson's newspaper, "The Empire," has turned out "a sad speculation" and that Frederick W. Chesson has left it. Pillsbury states that Thompson is in the Crimea and that Wilson Armistead is tired of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society. He adds that Thompson is not very popular in England. Pillsbury believes that "The Anti-Slavery Advocate" should be sustained and that the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society will no longer cooperate with the Garrisonian abolitionists.
