Pillsbury says that Richard Davis Webb has received the "Verbatim Report" of the London conference of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, which was reviewed in the May issue of "The Anti-Slavery Advocate." Pillsbury says that his speeches and resolutions were not mentioned in the report. He tells May that the new Glasgow Anti-Slavery Society had "read Mrs. (Harriet Beecher) Stowe wholly out of their late Annual Report," after having invited her to Great Britain. Pillsbury says that the Crimean War has affected the abolition cause adversely in Ireland. He mentions Mrs. Maria Webb, the wife of William Webb, and a near relative of Richard Allen. Pillsbury reports that she is a follower of Frederick Douglass and a menace to the abolition cause. He lists the very few individuals who are willing to do anti-slavery work in England and express regrets for Frederick William Chesson's association with Joseph Sturge
