Frederick Douglass and James N. Buffum are in Cork, Ireland. Isabel Jennings describes Douglass as noble-minded and sensitive; "everything mean, sordid or slavish is foreign to him." Everyone likes James N. Buffum. Douglass and Buffum feel the dampness of the climate very much. Isabel Jennings thanks Maria Weston Chapman for the promise of seeds.
