Mary Anne Estlin has not replied to Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman's letters owing to the pressure of work and severe headaches. She is pleased that Mrs. Chapman approves of the Anti-Slavery Advocate. George Thompson was supposed to write for it, but didn't. She gives Richard David Webb credit for the publication of the Advocate. Sarah Pugh, John Bishop Estlin, and Edwin Chapman wrote for it. Mary A. Estlin comments that "Mr. D. Hill has none of the wealth you attribute to him." She discusses Mr. Hill's daughter. She speaks of an operation performed on a girl named Smith by her father, and about her sister who brought this letter to Maria W. Chapman
