500 $aIn this letter, Richard Davis Webb reminds Maria Weston Chapman of their talk on the way from Ambleside about Harriet Martineau's opinion of the Howitts. Miss Martineau is "apt to jump to conclusions and condemn on insufficient evidence." Richard D. Webb thinks that, with the exception of Miss Martineau, none of the literary people of England have shown such "anti slavery heartiness as the Howitts." The Howitts "have been very kind, hospitable & respectful to American abolitionists in London" and would be offended if Maria Weston Chapman passed them by. Richard D. Webb admires Mary Howitt and hopes, for the cause's sake, that Maria W. Chapman will see her. Webb comments on William Howitt's quarrel with (John) Saunders.
