Letter from John Bright, Rochdale, Lancashire, to Henry Pease, 23 September 1842 describing the activities of the Anti-Corn Law League; mentioning ‘Tracts of the Leagues’, ‘I think they would be useful if distributed amongst the Farmers of your part of the country. If you have an Association having any vitality, possibly they may be disposed to order a quantity, or some private individual might wish to have some for circulation’; mentioning a lecturer: ‘Our lecturer Acland is about commencing operations in your district’; mentioning Prize Essays ‘on the evils which the Corn Law inflicts upon Tenant Farmers & farm labourers. Is there no well informed, intelligent Farmer in your neighbourhood who can have a chance of coming in for one of the prizes?’; referring to a series of letters signed ‘Reuben’, which are published in the ‘Circular’; referring to the imminent death of ‘the dear and amiable girl’ one of the writer’s relatives living in Newcastle – From: Quaker families of Darlington,Pease family, Henry Pease (1807 – 1881), Correspondence
