Esther Sturge liked some of the articles in the Liberator. She tells about Lord Ellenborough's work for the removal of "all kinds of slavery" in India. Sturge writes: "We cannot help thinking the difficulty much greater for you, as there are so many powers to contend with and a blind prejudice to oppose especially that of colour, your very children have learned it as with their very growth, ..." Sturge suggests raising a fund to help runaway slaves. She notes improvement in the condition of the English poor. Esther Sturge's brothers, Thomas, Samuel, and George have been active; one brother has been involved with the Manufacturers Relief Committee
