Letter from John Bishop Estlin, Bristol, to Samuel May, April 20, 1846
Description:
Estlin sends some annual statements of the Ladies' Society established for assisting the West Indian schools. He says that "Christian education" is stressed unnecessarily in these schools and that the West Indians hold that the negro is not inferior to the white man in many fields of activity. Estlin informs May that his tract on abolition, "A Brief Notice of American Slavery and the Abolition Movement" is being printed and that he has met the "Lover of Justice and Charity."
