Hannah M. Bevan is gratified in the result of the Boston anti-slavery fair. The public sentiment in England in regard to slavery is "a deep abhorrent feeling against it, a solemn sense of its awful iniquity and a heartfelt desire for its utter annihilation." Hannah M. Bevan's friend Elizabeth Pease (Nichol) is mourning the death of her father. Bevan quotes at length from a letter by Elizabeth Pease (Nichol).
