Letter from Isabella Massie, Upper Clapton, [England], to Mary Anne Estlin, 1853 May 2nd
Description:
Isabella Massie writes to Mary Anne Estlin in regards to the meeting at the British & Foreign Bible Society. She fears that the pro-slavery ministers will prevail and that the "hideous buttresses of Slavery will return as they did after the organization of the Evangelical Alliance." She condemns the delegates of the Bible society. She writes about a conversation she had with her husband about American abolitionists. She asks for the address of Hilary Bonham-Carter as she has a Liberty Bell gift for her.
