Title
[Letter to] Chere excellente madame et amie [manuscript]
Description
Holograph, signed
This letter is written in French
Victor Schoelcher is surprised and distressed by what he has been told about the abolitionist society here (in London?). He believed that there had been a reconciliation; he considered the invitation extended to him to the last conference as a proof (of the reconciliation). He did not know how Mrs. Chapman stood in regard to them (the opponents of her side?), for when he complained of the impoliteness of Mrs. (Harriet Beecher?) Stowe, she had not answered a word. Also, he does not know what happened at the conference. He was ill at the time, drove to the meeting, read his paper, and returned immediately to lie on his couch. He wishes the editors of the Advocate had send him the issue in which they discussed a matter of which Maria W. Chapman disapproves. He desires to have the paper and is even willing to pay a subscription. He is prepared to write to Mr. Destrone, even to arrange that he call on her. Victor Schoelcher is sure that he, like everyone else, will be charmed. In his speech at the conference, he highly praised the American abolitionists; this was much applauded. He will send her the speech if the society does not have it printed. Why has he not been kept informed of these dissensions? Schoelcher would not have gone if he believed that the affair might turn against William Lloyd Garrison and against her party. He seeks Maria W. Chapman's opinion on his English pamphlet
