In this letter, John Bishop Estlin tells what he knows of Julia Griffiths. He believes that she was more interested in Frederick Douglass than in the anti-slavery cause. He speaks of "the amusement which the 'Liberator' affords me." He does not show it to those whom he wishes to instruct in the true state of abolitionism in America. He tells of a case in the Thames Police Office, London, of a black sailor suing his captain for wages withheld from him while he was imprisoned in Charleston, Gaol [sic].
