500 $aIn this letter, David Lee Child discusses the affairs of the Standard. Child is pleased that Maria Weston Chapman understood "'egotism,' the most dangerous ism perhaps that we have to deal with. Our anti-slavery world is not the world; but renown there in is sometimes mistaken for the world renown." He continues the letter in this vein. He comments on the Liberator and will use extracts of the two leading articles for the Standard. Child said: "I do not think it worth while to discuss minute differences when the summa rerum is at stake."
