Notes:
Holograph, signed.
John Bishop Estlin is sending an account of G. Thompson's speech in the Bristol Mercury. This contains also a paragraph about the exhibition of the objects for Boston. Added to the newspaper for the October issue of the Christian Reformer is an article on American slavery, which is "an important evidence of progress in Anti Slavery sentiment." While the late [Robert] Aspland, former editor of the Christian Reformer, was adverse to the abolitionists, his son, Brook Aspland, "is evidently coming around." John Bishop Estlin hopes the Christian Reformer is seen by the Boston Unitarian ministers. He suggests that a notice is inserted in the National Anti-Slavery Standard. See pages 5-7 of Estlin's letter for his model of a notice, entitled "Progress of Anti-Slavery Sentiment among English Unitarians."
