Emma Michell writes: "Miss Weston's return to America seems like a prelude to your all taking flight." Richard Davis Webb is going to London to see her [Caroline Weston] and will join John Bishop Estlin there. It is hoped that the first number of the Advocate will appear on the first of October. Maria Weston Chapman will receive a report of the B. & C. [Bristol & Clifton?] Society, which "is said here to be a matter of history." Two ministers from America have been critical of Josiah Henson. Michell tells of Sarah Pugh's visit. She reports on Fanny N. Tribe's wedding. She hopes that Fanny's marriage will not quench the anti-slavery zeal of the bride, now Mrs. Seaton. The Estlins enjoyed their Irish visit. Contributions for the Anti-Slavery Bazaar are coming in slowly this year. Michell has made nine bags. A Dr. or Mr. Beggelow, a minister, defended slavery and called William Lloyd Garrison bloodthirsty.
