Description
Holograph, signed
Richard Davis Webb enjoyed his stay in London very much. Anne Warren Weston's sisters, Mrs. Eliza Lee Cabot Follen and her sister, John Bishop Estlin and his "admirable daughter & my own equally admirable wife were there" and also "that grand and good woman Harriet Martineau." Richard D. Webb has "a perfect passion for Westons." He likes Harriet Martineau "not for the last book she published in conjunction with Mr. Atkinson (who was there too) and which has brought such a storm of reprobation upon her---but for her moral courage, her kindliness, good nature, benevolence, pluck, and thorough excellence and uprightness." Richard D. Webb looks upon Anne W. Weston as "a new and more agreeable edition of Solon." Richard D. Webb's brother holds Mrs. Chapman in awe, and Mrs. Richard D. Webb is delighted with her. Richard D. Webb received a letter from Miss Estlin about the happy time she had in Devonshire with Anne W. Weston's sisters. Webb comments on the Estlins: "I have never seen father and daughter so beautifully united." He hopes that Mrs. Chapman & Co. will visit Stonehenge; he refers to his own article on that mysterious relic of Stonehenge that was printed in the National Anti-Slavery Standard. He hopes that Mrs. Chapman's party will visit Dublin, but admits that the place is not attractive to visitors. He refers to some verses by Anne Warren Weston entitled the "Comeouters." He is pleased that Anne W. Weston's sisters have at last met Elizabeth Pease. He believes that Wendell Phillips is Elizabeth Pease's "chief American 'Friend' as you are Mr. Estlins." Richard D. Webb's sister, Deborah, has gone to Australia
