Holograph, signed.

Richard Davis Webb criticizes Frederick Douglass and considers "his selfishness intense, his affections weak, and his unreasonableness quite extravagant when he is in the slightest degree hurt or when he thinks himself hurt." Richard D. Webb admits that it may have been injudicious of him to read in Douglass's presence from a letter by Maria Weston Chapman, which referred to him. He mentions Douglass's rudeness to Richard D. Webb's cousin Lizzy Post and his ungrateful behavior to James N. Buffum. As the printer of Douglass's book, Richard D. Webb recounts his relations with him. George Thompson started the idea of a meeting of friends of the cause; William Lloyd Garrison has been invited. Webb praises John Bishop Estlin.
