"Holograph, signed. Wendell Phillips suggests that Maria Weston Chapman's \"representative pro temp last week\" (on the Standard) made a mistake in publishing Edward Strutt Abdy's letter about Henry Colman. On reading \"Europ[ean] Agricul[ture],\" Wendell Phillips understood Colman to mean certain strictures \"in sarcastic irony\" and intended a remark in pity, not in contempt. Not knowing \"the general lay of his mind,\" Abdy has misunderstood Colman. \"Why not correct it now?\" Henry Colman has rather \"stood with us in the cause---than the other side.\" In respect to the Standard, Wendell Phillips's advice \"would be dock off the agents if so doing we can keep the Standard flying. But perhaps they are necessary to keep it flying.\""
