In regard to the slaves, no, no, no; I belong to a family of West Indian slaveholders, and if I believed in curses, I should be afraid.

I can at least thank God that I am not an American.
How you look serenely at slavery, I cannot understand, and I distrust your power to explain.

Do you indeed?
Dear Mr.Ruskin, do let us hear from you sometimes.

It is such a great gift, a letter of yours.

Then remember that I am a spirit in prison all the winter, not able to stir out.
