notes
"Holograph, signed. Pages one and two of this letter are missing. Mary Anne Estlin writes: \"We have diligently mastered the contents of the Liberators wh[ich] we missed during absence, & been much delighted with some; esecially T. Parker's Convention speech, ...We have also made some way through Moses Stuart's twaddle, which Mr. Webb has so happily epitomised in his last letter to the Standard.\" An appeal for the Bazaar by John Bishop Estlin will be included in William Wells Brown's description of the Panorama. George Thompson is going to Boston next month. [George Thompson arrived in Boston on Oct. 29, 1850.] A visit by Russell Carpenter is mentioned. Mary Anne Estlin reports that \"Dr. E. B. Hall of Providence has been here,\" and tells of his theological views. If Mrs. Eliza Lee Follen stays in London next winter, she may be able to do a lot of anti-slavery work among the English Unitarians. A leading article in the Inquirer has been favorable to the abolitionists. Mary A. Estlin received a letter from Miss Wigham reporting a progressive dissatisfaction with the unorthodox religious views of the American abolitionists among the Edinburgh abolitionists. Estlin believes: \"The bridgwater people, I am concerned to find are going to send all their collection to F. Douglass; ...\" People want to know what Mrs. Chapman is like."
