Massie, Isabella
Description
Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Isabella Massie writes to Mary Anne Estlin in regards to finding difficulty in getting to a meeting at Mrs. Follen's house. She speaks of George Thompson's sufferings of his recent trials. She sent Thompson's "Immediate and Unconditional Emancipation" to Lord Shaftesbury, who came out in favor of this principle. She writes, "Baldwin, Brown and Ward too, made an impression that Stowes Cotton plaister will not smooth down." She criticizes speeches made at a recent meeting, including Calvin Ellis Stowe. She pities Harriet Beecher Stowe for "a mind of such delicate texture to be bound in the bundles of this life at least with such a man."
