Richard Davis Webb presumably wrote this letter to Anne Warren Weston
Richard Davis Webb comments on the differences among American abolitionists. He feels that William Lloyd Garrison and those who agree with him "are most likely to be the wise ones---but that if Wendell Phillips and his allies think that there is work to be done by them as a society, very little harm can result..." Since Anne Warren Weston is no longer in Paris, Richard D. Webb is not inclined to visit the exhibition there. He failed to welcome William Lloyd Garrison in Liverpool on account of a foolish oversight. He discusses the Finians and how "they represent the feelings of millions of the poorer classes and if the government hang any of them they will make a great mistake." The English are "an insolent nation & have abused & ridiculed us so persistently through the times that I think a very general feeling is one of alienation." Webb tells of the attitudes of his sons Richard and Alfred toward the Fenians
