500 $aRichard Davis Webb tells of a plan conceived by a lady of his acquaintance to publish an anthology of anti-slavery poetry, and he tells of his help in the project. Webb asks Caroline Weston to tell Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman that he is "a little vain" because he has anticipated her wishes by not mentioning her name in the reply he has prepared to Tappan's pamphlet. On the other hand, Webb anticipated her permission in "freely appropriating the thunder" found in her letters and papers furnished by the Estlins. The Estlin's have suggested amendments to the reply. Webb tells of Miss Estlin's plan "to confute Dr. Campbell & his [British] Banner by publishing choice scraps of their writer in parallel columns with counter statements of honest people."
