"Holograph, signed. Mary Anne Estlin gives her opinion of the risk involved in being in Paris at this time. She explains Mr. Edward Mathew's position in regard to a world conference and mentions his wounded pride at Caroline Weston's inferences in respect to his disqualifications for a commanding post. Mary A. Estlin expresses her perplexity; aware of the gratitude she owes Caroline Weston, she admits \"that some of your & still more Mrs. Chapman's recent deduction from our common principles are so strangely at variance with ours that it is an abiding enigma with me...\" Mary A. Estlin protests her loyalty to the cause and to Caroline Weston; however, Caroline Weston must be resigned to \"what Mrs. Chapman calls a co-alition & not a union on our part.\" Caroline Weston's \"sweeping condemnation\" of the Free Mission Baptists with other organizations seems to Mary A. Estlin to betoken \"an ignorance of their work & aim which should guard you against any strong expression...\" The free Mission Baptists treat the whole pro-slavery church just as severely & discriminatingly as Mr. Garrison.\" She explains their methods for the benefit of the Anti-Slavery Society, \"if you care for its retaining English sympathizers.\" She sends Mr. Gutherie [Thomas Guthrie?]'s production. Miss Tribe is to be married in Hull. Mr. Armstrong has returned and is to preach again. Walter [Bagehot?] spoke gratefully of Caroline Weston's attentions."
