Letter from Eliza Wigham, Edinburgh, to Samuel May, 16.1.63
Miss Wigham discusses the Emancipation Proclamation. She mentions the distressed condition of the Lancashire cotton spinners and George Thompson's advice to the English to raise cotton in other parts of the world. Miss Wigham objects to the attacks on England in the abolition newspapers. She says that she has read of slaves returned to their masters in Washington. Miss Wigham asks for news of William Shreve Bailey, mentions Richard Davis Webb, sends a business account, and orders a copy of a book by Mrs. Lydia Maria Child: "The Right Way the Safe Way."
