Title:
Letter from Francis Bishop, Liverpool, [England], to Mary Anne Estlin, 1854 September 6
Description:
Francis Bishop writes to Mary Anne Estlin regarding antislavery news in Boston, specifically the Boston Bazaar and the N.Y. Vigilance Conference. He writes that Barker's lectures were "very coarse & offensive...against the Bible. He appears to me to have deteriorated very much in manner & bearing if not in feeling." Bishop will leave for Edinburgh tomorrow.
