She writes, "He is the most good-natured kind-hearted person you can conceive." O'Connell left urgent engagement in Ireland to attend a meeting here on behalf of of British India. C.L. Remond had been "a great attraction at all the meetings" which he has attended" although he has forfeited a a large class of abolitionists by his noble refusal to ally himself with the "new organization."
