        "On pages 1-3 of this manuscript, there is a letter from Annie Allen to Maria Weston Chapman. Annie thanks Maria for a copy of last year's Liberty Bell and for Longfellow's translation of Cervantes's tale, La Getanelfu [perhaps La Gitanilla]. Annie sends Maria a copy of Dickinson's \"Pictures of Italy\" and refers to a critic of Dickens with whom she disagrees. Having enjoyed William Lloyd Garrison's visit, Annie regretted that his stay in Dublin was so short. She comments on the Evangelical Alliance: \"would not diabolical alliance be nearer the mark?\"",
        "On pages 3-4 of this manuscript, there is a separate letter by Richard Allen to Maria Weston Chapman, dated November 18, 1846. Richard trusts that William Lloyd Garrison's visit will produce great good. The anti-slavery cause needs reviving. Richard writes that \"the British & Foreign [Anti-Slavery Society] have shown so much inactivity, that their day unless they bestir themselves is nearly at an end.\" The Evangelical Alliance has passed a resolution against admitting slaveholders, but Richard Allen looks upon that body as \"innocuous for good and evil.\" He refers to J. R. French's \"extraordinary comments & reflections against many of Rogers' old friends...\" The Irish \"are troubled with gloomy anticipation of famine.\""
