500 $aThere are three letters to Maria Weston Chapman in this manuscript. At the top of page one, there is a partial letter by Richard Davis Webb. He is sending a small contribution written by Joseph to be used as a filler in the Liberty Bell. Webb reflects on editorial problems.
500 $aOn the bottom of page one and continuing on page two, there is a separate unsigned note presumably by Hannah Webb, the wife of Richard Davis Webb, to Maria Weston Chapman. She discusses an article for the Liberty Bell written by "a fine young Irishman of 22," and John R. French and Stephen S. Foster. Hannah Webb says: "I do not choose it to be true that French is in the wrong, yet fear from the letter that it must be so." Foster seems to be "a sombre man" and French "a warm young fellow, more like an Irishman." She remarks on the differences of opinion between Henry C. Wright and Hannah Webb and comments on Maria Weston Chapman's relation to [George?] Ticknor. She notes the individuality and contrasting traits of American visitors. She asks Maria W. Chapman's opinion of John A. Collins's infidelity.
500 $aOn page two, there is a third note to Maria Weston Chapman, this one signed Henry C., presumably written by Henry Clarke Wright. Wright is still in Dublin and will be there until he publishes "a volume respecting my residence at Graefenberg," which deals with the water cure and non-resistance. He will go to Glasgow to attend a meeting of the Emancipation Society. Henry C. Wright says: "George Thompson is laid by from speaking or writing. I wish he was in America." Interest is now focused on Father Theobald Mathew and his debt. Regarding Theobald Mathew, Wright wishes: "All unite to help him. Even distillers & brewers!"
