Description
Holograph, signed.Richard Davis Webb presumably wrote this letter to Caroline Weston. Webb is concerned about the Conway and Mason(?) correspondence. Harriet Martineau had letters written to protest against Conway's "gross indescretion." Webb wrote to George Thompson and John Bright. George Thompson agrees with him; John Bright made light of the injurious effect of the correspondence on abolitionists in America. Webb sends a tract by Frances Power Cobbe, "whom I think you do not admire whilst I respect her highly for her talents & the use she makes of them." He believes that Mary Anne Estlin has gone to Switzerland.
