Item Information

Place of origin:
Dublin, [Ireland]
Language:
English
Notes:
Holograph.
Richard Davis Webb regrets that Anne Warren Weston was not in Paris when he was there. Webb writes: "I never enjoyed any visit since my courting days half so much as that to Versailles." He refers with enthusiasm to "these women whom I have held in the highest respect and admiration," [i.e. Mrs. Chapman and Caroline Weston.] He comments on Dr. W. H. Harvey's book on marine botany. Of the two boxes for the anti-slavery fair, one contains stationery, the other "odds and ends from Dublin." Anything for the North Star should be sent at once, "to keep Douglas[s] from suspecting us of robbing him." The largest contributor is Maria Waring. Webb sent Fox's Martyrs from his own library. Webb expresses his attitude toward popery; he considers Father Mathew "one of the best of the lot."
