Title:
Letter from Elizabeth Pease Nichol, London, [England], to Anne Warren Weston, 1841 June 24
Description:
Elizabeth Pease Nichol writes to Anne Warren Weston in regards to making sacrifices to the cause on her part and any loss of the good opinion of her friends has been compensated by friendship with "some of the choicest spirits" in America. John A. Collins has been "passing through a fiery trial." She feels "a sister's love" for Wendell and Ann Phillips, and talks of the attitude of the London committee. John Scoble intimated that they had ample evidence to prove all [Nathaniel Colver] said." The British India Society have consented to let George Thompson work for the anti-corn law league. She refers to Anne's disappointment in Thompson's at the convention, but "I can truly say, my heart sunk within me when I heard some portions of his speech on that occasion" but she believes he "acted nobly" in the presence of the Edinburgh committee. Her political tendencies are ultra radical as she "sympathizes with the poor oppressed Chartists" which is "considered vulgar--but I do most sincerely."
