In this letter, Wendell Phillips writes: "I am sorry that friends abroad should have noticed any falling off in the Standard." Wendell Phillips asks for documents in Maria Weston Chapman's file which will explain two matters: "the insult or discourtesy which Douglas[s] has exhibited toward Webb & Haughton---& then, secondly, the story some year[s] ago which after R.R.R. Moore's marriage made R.D.W. so suddenly change his whole opinion of him." Wendell Phillips never regretted anything connected with the National Anti-Slavery Standard so much as the article on (George Nixon) Briggs. He believes "it is shameful."
