Title:
Letter from Elizabeth Pease Nichol, London, [England], to Maria Weston Chapman, 1840 July 17
Description:
Elizabeth Pease Nichol writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to eulogizing Garrison and calls him and Nathaniel Peabody Rogers "twin brothers in worth & excellence & true abolitionism." The "Wendell Phillps's" have been the writer's near neighbors and seemed like old, dear friends. Isaac Winslow, his daughter and niece, and the Phillipses have gone to to the continent, Garrison and Rogers have accompanied George Thompson to Scotland where they will breathe a "more free & genial atmosphere." Thompson's health is improving and she hopes that "there is a prospect of prosecuting the British India cause with far more energy & effect than it has yet been." She refers to the "musky mists of prejudice" in London, and to "the spirit of exclusion manifested towards those noble women" (delegates of the World Convention)." She emphasizes that one must look to British India to influence the slaveholder. She considers it fortunate that the British India Society has engaged the services of Professor William Adam. She thanks Maria and the other abolitionist friends for the gift presented to Emily Winslow. A box of anti-slavery china has been forwarded for the approaching fair.
