Title:
Letter from John Bishop Estlin, Bristol, to Samuel May, October 1st, 1846
Description:
Estlin says contributions to the Fair are being produced in quantity and that he will send one hundred copies of his tract, "A Brief Notice of American Slavery, and the Abolition Movement" to the Fair. He says that "The Christian Reformer" has started publishing anti-slavery articles. Estlin condemns Garrison's meddling in English political affairs and gives an example of a very impolitic remark by Garrison. Estlin also condemns Garrison's association with Henry Vincent, but states that Frederick Douglass is doing well.
