  • Richard Davis Webb cannot meet Caroline Weston in Bristol because his son, also named Richard, is soon to leave for California. However, he hopes to see Caroline Weston in Liverpool before she sails. Richard D. Webb sorely misses his wife, Hannah Webb, and writes about her with praise and admiration. Richard D. Webb expresses his own and Professor Cairnes's approbation of Abraham Lincoln's letter. In reference to Charles Sumner's fear of English intervention, Richard D. Webb says that he himself never feared active intervention except at the time of the Trent affair; Richard D. Webb believes that rulers and people sincerely desire to keep out of war. However, 999 out of 1000 of the people are surprised by the acts of the Democratic party, including the Irish mob in New York. Bereford Hope and others like him hate republics. He tells how the lectures of Henry Ward Beecher and William Henry Channing were received. Richard D. Webb's daughter, Deborah, altered the "somewhat barbarous orginal" of the lines to the "John Brown March."
