Richard Davis Webb points out that the Anti-Slavery Advocate has five pages devoted to George Thompson's "equivocal conduct at the late London Conference." He explains at length his reasons for giving so much space to Thompson. He explains T's conduct. Richard D. Webb writes: "My father, aged just 78 1/2 died on the 28th of last month."
