erest; they feel a warm affection. Pray do not forget Boston. I feel, my dear friend, how little claim I have to your friendship; but the heart speaks from its fulness, and I cannot withhold the expressions of my warm attachment. After quitting Prescott, I went to the Anti-slavery Fair, where I talked with Mrs. Loring Mrs. Ellis Gray Loring, sister of Rev. Dr. Samuel Gilman, of Charleston, S. C. Mrs. Loring and her husband were among Sumner's warmest and most constant friends. and Mrs. Chapman about you. Then I saw Hillard, and continued the theme; and so night came. I told Prescott I should write to you to-day, and he said, Put in my kindest regards. Believe us, dear Morpeth, all mindful of you, and myself more than all. Ever and ever sincerely yours, Charles Sumner. To Lord Morpeth, New York. Boston, Dec. 30, 1841. Thanks, my dear Morpeth, for thinking of me, and for writing so promptly.

He had been for several years a subscriber for their organ,—the Liberator,—attended their annual Anti-slavery Fairs in Boston, and maintained friendly relations with their leaders,—manifestations of sympathy and goodfellowship which disturbed some of his conservative friends. With Wendell Phillips he maintained the friendsh

In the early part of the year, Sumner stated the political relations of Slavery in the United States in a communication to the Boston Advertiser, which merits attention as marking with distinctness his matured views. Lord Morpeth had replied to a request from Mrs. Chapman for a contribution to The Liberty Bell, which was to be published at the Anti-slavery Fair in December, 1842, by a letter written at Castle Howard, Oct. 28, soon after his return home,—declining, on account of his foreign citizenship, to engage as a partisan in the discussion of what was an American question. The Advertiser Dec. 26, 1842. undertook to apply the principle of the letter to citizens of Massachusetts and other Free States, who were, as it contended, excluded equally with
