Sarah Pugh begins this letter by asking: "Have you any comfort for me other than 'Whatever is---is right'?" She complains of Oliver Johnson's "'airing' of the troubles in our midst." She notes that William Lloyd Garrison has not copied the statements in the Liberator. Pugh says: "The present conductors of the 'Standard' have shown themselves in this case wise & dignified in making no rejoinder, which I must confess I exceedingly dreaded their doing." She wishes to know Maria W. Chapman's views on the controversial issues. Sarah Pugh receieved letters from Mary A. Estlin and Harriet Lupton; their letters were written in Wales.
