Title:
Letter from Edmund Jones, London, [England], to Mary Anne Estlin, Aug[ust] 2 / 1877
Description:
Edmund Jones responds to Mary Anne Estlin's letter, apologizing for the delay owing to his recent illness. Jones states that his work has been satisfactory, though he did not have the pleasure of meeting either Josephine Butler or William Lloyd Garrison during his trip to Liverpool, and labels the latter a "Christian hero". Jones asserts that their work must continue while "there is yet a bondage from which men and women must be liberated".
