500 $aRichard Davis Webb presumably sent this letter to Miss Weston.
500 $aIn this letter, Richard Davis Webb introduces Francis Jennings, the brother of Isabel Jennings. Francis Jennings is "a chemist of no mean standing." He sympathized with Father T. Mathew rather than the abolitionists. Richard D. Webb calls Francis Jennings "an admirable specimen of the outer Barbarian of our Celestial Empire." Two anti-slavery societies have been formed in Dublin. Richard D. Webb is secretary of one and Mary Edmundson is the secretary of the other. James Haughton was made vice president. Richard D. Webb says: "We have just had a long letter from Eliz. Pease," who relays a warning from Wendell Phillips of an impending invasion by Charles Spear. Webb refers to George Thompson's successes. He talks about going to London to see Miss Weston. Richard D. Webb's sister, Mrs. Juliot, is going to Australia if her husband can raise the money for the passage. Harriet Martineau wanted Richard D. Webb to assist her in "promoting the knowledge" of a new discovery for the preservation of Indian meal. Harriet Martineau is trying to get (William and Ellen) Craft educated in one of Lady Byron's schools.
