Letters by Mary Howitt, author and publisher, to Thom, a Presbyterian minister, and one to Rev. George Aspinall, 1847, refusing to review Thom's Dialogues on Universal Salvation (2d ed., London: 1847) in Howitt's Journal because of the book's polemical nature. Her letters to Thom in 1849 concern her review of his new book in the Standard of Freedom. Letters of 1855 and 1858 concern the unhappy courses taken by the careers of Aspinall and of Anne Elliot Dyson, educator and reformer.
