"Holograph, signed. Esther Sturge wishes that all abolitionists would abstain from \"speaking against any part of [the] holy scriptures or making light of our precious redeemer, every way it is wrong, and only weakens the great and good work, in which I am quite ready to believe every one who engages in it, is sincere.\" She praises Frederick Douglass. She gives arguments against buying slaves out of bondage. She tells about debt-ridden planters in the West Indies who are freeing their slaves. Sturge describes the misfortunes of Irish families that she knows."
