Description
Holograph, signed
Richard Davis Webb's sister-in-law, Mrs. Palmer, long known as Maria Waring, sends a legacy of five pounds left by her recently deceased friend Maragaret White. Margaret White was "for many years a subscriber from but small resources to the American Anti-Slavery Society." Webb also sends along a small sum due to the Standard because Samuel May does not want to have anything more to do with this paper. He greatly regrets that "in this 11th hour of the Anti-Slavery Enterprise such a difference of opinion & feeling should have arisen between the tried & trusted leaders of the cause." Webb regrets especially the "infirmity" of Wendell Phillips. In reference to a bitter criticism reprinted in the Standard regarding the English literati in relation to the late Civil War, Webb comments: "I think H. Martineau & Godwin Smith are looked on as no better than they should have been." The fact remains that the majority of Englishmen have been on the side of the North. Webb wishes that Mrs. Maria W. Chapman to subscribe to the newspaper the Nation for Dr. Palmer and himself. Webb has written to Mme. Laugel, "but her thoughts have doubtless been taken up the tragical death of her cousin."
