Holograph, signed
Richard Davis Webb has seen a letter from Caroline Weston written "since Louis Napoleon's gigantic villainy exploded and assuring us of the safety of our friends." He praises the Estlins. Richard Davis Webb is concerned about Kossuth. If he is silent on slavery, "he will be so deliberately---for no pains were spared from many quarters to make the whole mater clear to him." Richard D. Webb had a copy of "American Slavery As It Is" placed in his hands. He refers to a poem by John Greenleaf Whittier and asks: "Do you mean (that is no pun) the lines addressed to Kossuth?---and the compliment to the dead John Q. Adams instead of the living Garrison?" The "nine Glasgow muses" have just sent Richard D. Webb their first report of the Glasgow Female New Association for the Abolition of Slavery, which contains a good deal of cant. Richard D. Webb asks what Anne Warren Weston thinks of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in the National Era
The poem referred to in this letter is entitled "Kossuth," by John Greenleaf Whittier, is found in American Slavery As It Is, by Theodore Dwight Weld, NY, 1839. In the poem entitled "Kossuth," there occurs these lines: O for the tongue of him who lies at rest; In Quincy's shade of patrimonial trees; Last of the Puritan tribunes and the best; To lend a voice to Freedom's sympathies
