500 $aThis letter was written by Mary Anne Estlin and presumably sent to Anne Warren Weston. At the request of Anne Warren Weston's sister, Mary Anne Estlin is forwarding lines by Lucy Stanford for the Liberty Bell. In this letter, Mary A. Estlin dwells on her visitors (the Weston sisters) "that have been rendering our abode an envied paradise of late." She encloses the resolution of [Bristol] Ladies Anti-Slavery Committee, which will show that they are "determined to carry on the work which your sisters have entrusted to us to complete..." Mary A. Estlin has drawn up a bill of indictment against the Broad Street Society "on the ground of which our Bristol Committee means formally to withdraw from all connection with it." Mary A. Estlin claims credit for the "education of my pupils," women who eight months ago were ignorant of the development of the New Organization. The people whom Mrs. Chapman and Miss Weston have indoctrinated are "fully impressed with the facts that the American & Foreign Ass. is 'a humbug' & Lewis Tappan a thief..." Mary A. Estlin suggests asking Edmund Quincy to write a brief, simple statement about the origin and course of the American & Foreign Anti-Slavery Society for the Standard.
500 $aIn a postscript, Mary Anne Estlin tells of her father [John Bishop Estlin]'s wish that Anne Warren Weston spend two or three months with them. Mary A. Estlin asks for a bit of Anne W. Weston's hair, "to complete a bracelet in which your three sisters' locks are united.
