Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Richard Davis Webb writes to William Lloyd Garrison saying that he "do[es] not belive that any Anti-Slavery meeting ever held in Dublin made such a storm in the ecclesiastical puddle as that which you attended here." Webb praises Garrison's "impeachment of their hitherto unimpeached super excellence" and shares William Shortt's comment that "it is most important" for Garrison to return to Ireland. Webb then writes that his cousin, Maria Webb, and her husband wished to spend more time with Garrison but maintained they were "quite satisfied with the wisdom of their conduct in Belfast in contributing to the Am. [Anti-Slavery] Society & the Liberty Party". In the postscript, Webb comments that "Sunter's tract about the Bible [is] most excellent."
