Holograph, signed
Mary Anne Estlin thanks Maria Weston Chapman for her letter and for supplying what "ought to convince all who are open to conviction, & to prevent their puzzling themselves further as to why oil & water don't unite." The Quakers are "in an increasing state of effervescence, & I am prepared for their all withdrawing from our Committee..." Mary A. Estlin is sending, via an acquaintance named Miss Coates, a copy of John Bigelow's Jamaica, with a long letter from Mr. Webb in it. [The book mentioned is entitled: Jamaica in 1850; or the Effects of Sixteen Years of Freedom on a Slave Colony.] Estlin said: "The interest of the cause rest on my unaided hands." The severance from the Broad Street Society has not yet been accomplished. She mentions a Miss Goodwin who has "susceptibility of cultivation," presumably as the result of her brother's conversation with Maria Weston Chapman. After mentioning a Mr. Clark, "who writes such nonsense in the Examiner," Mary A. Estlin comments that "there is something very gratifying in having such a meagre set of opposition letters, & those only from quakers!"
Included is the accompanying envelope, with the delivery address: Mrs. Chapman, 17 Rue de Clichy, Paris
