500 $aJohn Bishop Estlin was gratified "to entertain five of your family for five weeks as beloved guests." Estlin discusses Garrison's feelings about Mr. [James] Grant's articles in the Morning Advertiser and his "erroneous notions, as you most correctly judged, of Mr. G[rant]'s real state of mind." John B. Estlin called on Mr. Grant in London, who was pained that Garrison "could suspect him of any insincerity or concealment." Estlin is comforted by the advice that Anne Warren Weston gave to William Lloyd Garrison. Estlin said: "One of his cut & slash articles hinting even that Mr. Grant was a traitor to the cause he has so recently espoused, would probably have entirely detached Mr. G.'s interest from it." He is the first influential public writer in England to create public opinion for the American Anti-Slavery Society. Estlin said: "It is a great error in our American friends if they suppose that all here who are anxious to help the cause, are versed in the mysteries of 'New Organization' history." Though Mr. Grant is quite orthodox, he admires and willingly published Anne Warren Weston's "Come outer." No known Unitarian in England would have the hundredth part of his influence. Estlin said: "A little contretemps occurred while your family were in London, trifling perhaps in itself, yet really endangering Mr. G.'s continued personal interest in them." Estlin threw himself into the breach, and everything was composed after a time. John B. Estlin traveled to London with George Thompson and Robert Charleton, whom he describes as a kind but weak man, "believing whatever Jos. Sturge or J. Scoble would tell him..."
