Including several letters re Charles Mackay.

85 East Broadway, New York, U. S. America. - Asks if Milnes can retrieve ten pounds owed to Wood by Mr Weeks, who is editing the Anglo-American in London; assisted him unwittingly and did not join conspiracy to swindle Houghton; suffering caused by Weeks and Edge. Dr Charles Mackay should be expelled from the Reform Club; he is an extreme Tory and has taken blood-money here; Wood saved Mackay's name and kept his son from the workhouse but Mackay still attempts to blacken his character and owes him money. Sorry to see the Tories in power; riots may be harmful to the cause but may show that 'popular disturbances and tory (mis)rule are coincidental'. Postscript: sending letter via brother in Yorkshire.
