Massie, Isabella

Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Boston Public Library (Rare Books Department) manuscript indicates that this is a copy.Isabella Massie writes to Mary Anne Estlin in regards to two copies of her father's reply which has been forwarded to John Scoble. She agrees with John Bishop Estlin's sentiment that anti-slavery societies should not withdraw their contributions to the American Anti-Slavery Society "seeing that there is no other efficient one in existence." She admits that H.C. Wright's expressions and language shock her. She discusses H.C. Wright's sentiments on religion and wishes all of the societies could compromise so as to work together to end slavery. She defends the Quakers and says, "I love the Quakers for their ten thousand lovely qualities & their universal benevolence & there are Unitarians whom I love as my right hand, though we differ in one great point, but we have worked together in the free trade struggle & in the emancipation of the slave."
