Holograph, signed
Elizabeth Pease Nichol met Mrs. Chapman and her party in London. She attended the last sitting of the Peace Congress and visited the great Exhibition. While visiting in Bristol, she became acquainted with the Estlins. On returning to relatives, Elizabeth Pease Nichol found a cousin very ill and stayed with her. Elizabeth Pease Nichol's health was affected by the prolonged stay in a southern climate during the hot season and she resorted to this "fountain of health." The Estlins are working hard for the cause and Mrs. Massman's advocacy in London has doubtless "interested many & done much to open the eyes of others to the degree of confidence that ought to be placed in the Broad St. Committee." Elizabeth Pease Nichol maintains that in Scotland they have more knowledge and "a strong feeling exists in favour of the true Abolitionists." Elizabeth Pease Nichol was disappointed that before she reached London, Mrs. Eliza Lee Cabot Follen had left the country. She was delighted to meet George Thompson. She sends a message to Wendell and Ann Phillips, whom Elizabeth Pease Nichol hopes to see in this country. Elizabeth Pease Nichol read Wendell Phillips's speech on Kossuth in America "with perfect delight." She describes Mazzini, with whom Elizabeth Pease Nichol spent an evening. Elizabeth Pease Nichol comments: "I cannot think he would have acted as Kossuth has regarding American Slavery." She remarks on H. C. Wright's physical strength and hopes William Lloyd Garrison's health is better. She comments on the political situation in Europe. Elizabeth Pease Nichol writes: "We hear much of the probability of a French invasion & the necessity for being prepared. It is grievous to think how very few there are who acknowledge the Christian principle of peace."
