Richard Davis Webb presumably wrote this letter to Caroline Weston.

Richard D. Webb expresses enthusiasm for the Estlins, both "Father & Daughter." Webb's interest in the anti-slavery cause has been for him "an almost unmixed advantage." He refers to a prospective visit from Caroline Weston, informing her that his "house is as large, as airy & as good a house as Mr. Estlin's---but it is not nearly so nicely furnished..." Richard D. Webb is not as well off as Caroline Weston's present hosts. Webb explains: "I have never been a very devoted & vehement man of business. If I had been, I would probably never have been known to you." Yesterday, Richard D. Webb resigned his membership in the Society of Friends; he explains this move. He thinks some of the best types of Quakers are found in Ireland. He regrets that he has nothing worthwhile to contribute to the Liberty Bell.
