Title:
Letter from Elizabeth Pease Nichol, [England], to Maria Weston Chapman, 1842 [February] 28
Description:
Elizabeth Pease Nichol writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to her memory of her first meeting with [William Lloyd] Garrison. Nathaniel Colver said a year ago that Garrison's influence was waning; Nichol comments on the "truthfulness of the prediction," as evidenced by the late anniversary (of the Massachusetts anti-slavery society), the accounts of which delighted her. She tells how she has distributed Liberty Bells, one to Edward Oxley, who gave valuable assistance during the visit of John A. Collins. She writes, "Knapp's Liberator" has found its way into the hands of friends here through Charles Stuart. George Thompson is working in the anti-corn law agitation. The writer comments on "the cruel and insane policy of Sir Robert Peele" and the "patience of the poor starving operatives."
