AS for the laboring class / should
advise them to go to America, but of
course rich people can live anywhere.
There is the same oppression on labor
ers as ever In England, which is very
strange to us,
L have visited my native place,
which is Moulton, Lincolnshire. /
leave Boston oil Monday June 10Th for
Norfolk, shall call at LYNN and Nor
Wich and after my visit will write
you again and inform you of what
see. From there | go TO London.
