to accomplish her end, injured her health so that she was obliged to return to England to recruit.
She revisited America in 1827, at which time she was accompanied by a friend in every way her opposite, save in her love for literature; that friend was Mrs. Trollope, whose book, “Manners of the Americans,” written on her return to England, is not yet forgotten, nor quite forgiven. In that book mention is made of her visit to Frances Wright’s plantation. She says:
“Miss Wright was the companion of our voyage from England, and it was my purpose to have passed some months with her and her sister at the estate purchased by them in Tennessee.
“This lady was at this time dedicated to a pursuit widely different from her subsequent occupation. She was about to seclude herself for life in the deepest forests of the New World, and devote her time, talents, and fortune to aid the cause of suffering African slaves.”
