"Holograph, signed. The first four pages of this letter are missing. Richard Davis Webb tells about an elderly friend who admires Napoleon and hates Daniel O'Connell. The friend reproached James Haughton for inconsistency, etc., yet Richard D. Webb knows no man \"more stern in his obedience to duty than he is.\" Richard D. Webb's cousin, Maria Webb, cannot understand that it is impossible to promote the American Anti-Slavery Society and the Liberty Party \"both together.\" He thinks that William Lloyd Garrison \"settled Goodell very handsomely in a late Liberator.\" Yet it seems to him that if the extent of the numbers, labors and sacrifices of the Liberty Party be true, \"it would be better you should frankly admit it.\" He saw a set of 14 volumes of the Liberator for sale and would like to know their price. After having read Maria W. Chapman's objections to giving to famine relief in Ireland, Richard D. Webb criticizes her principles in this particular case."
