Description
Holograph, signed.The Duchess of Argyll writes: "It would give me great pleasure to see your Son, and Mr. Jay's Daughter, and if they are still here, I hope to have this pleasure." She makes a brief reference to the anti-slavery anniversary. She says: "The great experiment of Free Labour in the South, which seemed to be so successful in Texas, and elsewhere is very important and encouraging. As to the feeling in England you cannot doubt that it is entirely with you. There may be sad want of Faith as to the possibility of Right being done, here and every where. We have been painfully interested in the Harper's Ferry Affair. ..." She thinks Charles Sumner is "a noble Standard Bearer of a noble cause."Accompanied by an envelope with the delivery address: Mrs. Chapman, Weymouth, W. Boston, United States.
