Holograph, signed
The beginning of this letter is missing. What remains of this letter contains part of an account of an archeological expedition in which Richard Davis Webb's nephew took part. He refers to William MacDonnell, the Australian merchant. Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman criticized Richard D. Webb for upholding the British Quakers' objection to Lord Shaftesbury's draft of the Ladies' Stafford House Address on the grounds that it failed to urge immediate emancipation. Lord Shaftesbury would have included a plea for immediate emancipation if it had been presented to him in time. In Richard D. Webb's opinion, "Mrs. Stowe has not acted with the fairness or magnanimity to the Ladies A. S. S. in Glasgow. I think Paton is right in his estimate of her feeble health."
