<dd>The beginning and end of this letter are missing. Mrs. Emma Michell presumably wrote this letter to Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman. Emma Michell mentions a passage from Frederick Douglass's paper concerning Richard D. Webb and George Thompson: "he is evidently stung to the quick--and very angry with Mr. Gay and the A. S. Standard, a little more gracious toward Garrison." (R. L.?) Carpenter has concluded his series of letters on American slavery in the Christian Reformer. Miss Carpenter has been at a meeting in Birmingham to consider the state of the "dangerous and perishing classes." Emma Michell writes of illness in the Armstrong family. She hopes to be in Bristol on the 24th. Emma Michell expresses her fondness for Maria W. Chapman, and gives "congratulations to dear Emma that she is restored to you in this time of anxiety."</dd></dl><br>Subjects: Chapman, Maria Weston, 1806-1885; Michell, Emma; Carpenter, Mary, 1807-1877; Carpenter, Russell Lant, 1816-1892; Douglass, Frederick, 1818-1895; Gay, Sydney Howard, 1814-1888; Thompson, George, 1804-1878; Webb, Richard Davis, 1805-1872; Christian reformer; National anti-slavery standard; Antislavery movements; Women abolitionists</div>
