ALS, 1841 September 4 : Birmingham [Eng.] to "My dear Friend."

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/25638406

Has returned home after a visit to the United States. Sturge and his friend differ on the value of his trip, on the subject of a future convention and on the proposed alteration of the sugar duty. Has not decided whether to publish an account of his trip. Monopoly on food is only one rank better than monopoly in human flesh. Finds T. Clarkson much enfeebled.
