Holograph, signed
Friends are excited and want to welcome George Thompson by ringing bells. Many friends are taking an interest in the meeting. John Mawson makes suggestions regarding William Lloyd Garrison's arrival and visit
On page 12 of this manuscript, there is a separate note by Mrs. Hannah Webb, Richard Davis Webb's wife, to Maria Weston Chapman. Hannah Webb tells of family affairs. The Webbs are spending a few weeks in the country. Their oldest son, Alfred Webb, is delicate and the town does not agree with him. Hannah Webb was delighted to receive books and a letter from Boston. She considers the Liberty Bell excellent but lacking in "spunk." She comments on the Belfry of Bruges; she thinks there is too much mannerism in Longfellow. Hannah Webb thinks that Nathaniel P. Rogers still has the light of genius, though dimmed, and that he was "more misled & erring than wicked." She characterizes Dr. Richard Robert Madden, who visited them, as a good Catholic and a regular Irish rebel, "as rebels were counted forty years ago."
Also includes a fragment, dated September 10th, 1899, by Helen Weston. She writes: "On the 10 & 11th page of this letter there is a good deal about Douglass. Which was not at the time to be made public. Told in confidence. I have hesitated about cutting it out but thought on the whole I had better send it."
