On what is marked as page three, Estlin continues a discussion of a letter to be published in "The Christian World." He orders a copy of "The Liberator" to be sent to Harriet Lupton. Estlin tells May that he plans to send him a book of etiquette for young ladies. He reports that he heard a rumor that Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison had quarreled and informs May that Miss Mary Carpenter has been ill and that "an epidemic catarrh, called influenza (I believe not contagious) has been extraordinarily prevalent." Estlin inquires about the prevailing belief in the "The Principles of Nature, Her Divine Revelations, and a Voice to Mankind" of Andrew Jackson Davis, the "Poughkeepsie Seer."
