John Bishop Estlin encloses an article from the Morning Advertiser, "which Mary says, I am so proud of, ...I still maintain that it is an excellent article, tho' no one else thinks so!" John B. Estlin refers to the two occasions in which he met Emma Forbes Weston as "bright little bits in the busy time I am now passing in this bustling metropolis." He tells about a meeting with George Thompson. He comments on George Thompson's "inattention to what he may consider ... as trifling matters, such as keeping engagements, etc." John B. Estlin has heard from Mary [Anne Estlin] that they may expect Miss Sarah Pugh in 3 or 4 weeks.
Includes an envelope with the delivery address: Miss E. Weston, 46 Portland Place, Lanpham Place. The back of this envelope is postmarked Ju[ne] 1852.
