Letter from George Thompson, Manchester, [England], to Richard Davis Webb, 1842 June 4
George Thompson writes to Richard Davis Webb in regards to Lord Clifford's paper and being unable to mend it. He says, "I have tried to render the first part a little more intelligible. If you think I have succeeded, you will make the attention." He gives instructions to Webb on changes needed for the papers. He writes particular names to be included such as William Benson, the Secretary of the Manchester Peace Society. He writes about his plan to read the "Rhymes for the people" but he took them with him to Birmingham and left them underneath the seat of the carriage. He does not know if the British & Foreign Anti-Slavery society is really dead.
