notes
"Holograph, signed. John Bishop Estlin presumably sent this letter to Caroline Weston. John B. Estlin composed \"a semi Editorial article in large print\" for the Morning Advertiser, a London newspaper. Richard Davis Webb offered to print it as a tract, but John Bishop Estlin declined the offer. Both Mrs. Massie and John B. Estlin favored inserting it in a newspaper. Estlin lists the U.S. newspapers which will copy it. He inquires about a Liberator soiree at which the Hon. Henry Wilson spoke, and which was enlivened by E. Quincy's wit. Is at odds with Mrs. Anna H. Richardson over her hostility to the American Anti-Slavery Society. He gives his views on \"her pet scheme, (that dreadful sham, the Free Labour Movement).\" The Rev. H. H. Garnet was to come to Bristol to talk about it. Miss Weston [Caroline Weston?] should have consulted a doctor when she was ill. He was amazed by the inadequacy of medical education in the U.S. He heard that G. Mazzini had escaped to London. He compares the nature and effect of political crises in England and the U.S. and tells of current English political developments. He describes Mary Anne Estlin's visit to a Quaker meeting in which she opposed the Free Labor doctrine. He says that William W. Brown is coming to Bristol."
