Jennings, Isabel

Description

Holograph, signed.Isabel Jennings begins this letter with a discussion of the packaging and shipment of a box of merchandise for the anti-slavery fair. Jennings says: "We have this year got donations from the gentlemen's Anti-Slavery Society ...they have got a new secretary who though a clergyman is most liberal in his opinions--- ..." Father Theobald Mathew is several thousand pounds in debt. He has had a misunderstanding with the Dublin committee over his post as a traveling agent. He spent a lot of money on temperance medals.
