A box of contributions for the Boston bazaar is to leave Liverpool on the 19th. It contains a small parcel for Henry C. Wright, containing a purse worked for him by Mrs. Mary Welsh. Interest in the anti-slavery cause "keeps up wonderfully here." Mary Welsh speaks disparagingly of the clergy, who "remain silent and indifferent." She encloses an invoice from Glasgow; the Perth box accompanies the Glasgow ones.
