Sarah Pugh presumably wrote this letter to Maria Weston Chapman. Sarah Pugh relays a message from Richard Davis Webb: "If you write to Mr. Davis in Paris tell him that we will be heartily pleased to have them in Dublin--- ..." Sarah Pugh's friend, Mr. O'Riley and family, arrived in Bristol; Dr. Estlin has seen O'Riley's daughters and "is disposed to think hopefully of their cases." Sarah Pugh remarks that Miss Caroline Weston must be nearly at the end of her voyage home by this time. Pugh has been reviewing articles in the American newspapers for the Anti-Slavery Advocate. Mrs. Michel and Mrs. Herbert Thomas are working for "your Bazaar." Pugh asks if Mme. Garnaud is in Paris. The Times criticized Uncle Tom's Cabin as "deprecating the evil that it was likely to produce on the public mind." She quotes from an anonymous review which the National Anti-Slavery Standard published in reply. Mr. Baines, the editor of the Leeds Mercury, received a note of thanks from the Earl of Carlisle for his "admirable comment upon an admirable book." Mr. Grant of the Morning Advertiser "is also out in some excellent anti-slavery leaders."
