Letter from Elizabeth Pease Nichol, London, [England], to Maria Weston Chapman, 1839 July 11
Description:
Elizabeth Pease Nichol writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to her father recently witnessing the founding of a society for bettering the conditions of fellow subjects in British India. She writes that the efforts for India, "are doing your work for you," as "we might under a wise & humane policy have all the articles which we now obtain from the sinews of the slave in Foreign Countries." Maria can help this cause by sending a written expression of her sentiments on the subject to the British India society. She is sending a copy of T.F. Buxton's work ("Treatise on the Slave"). "The English in India" contains chapters by William Howitt, which Nichol had reprinted. George Thompson is now in London and his health has improved. She asks to forward the news to Garrison.
