"Holograph, signed. Since parting from Maria Weston Chapman in Liverpool, Richard Davis Webb has felt stupid and good for nothing, chiefly \"owing to the reaction after such a paradise of dainty delights as you treated me to last week,\" and also because of \"the endless drizzle, the gloomy skies, and the dismal prospects before all the people in this miserable country. The potatoes are rotting hard and fast---the jails are filling---and in short the country is as helpless and prostrate as its worst enemies could wish.\" Webb refers to Maria W. Chapman's question about compensation for translation, and he mentions Juliette Bauer, whose contribution he received today and he is sending on for the Liberty Bell. He suggests that Maria W. Chapman meets Miss Bauer. [-The Daughter of the Riccarees,- translated from the German, by Juliette Bauer, was printed in the Liberty Bell, 1849.]"
