Attributed to Pringle, the Scottish poet and abolitionist, circa 1820s. Pringle relates that Athanase Coquerel sends compliments to [Ch. N. N.?] Richard and Elihu Burritt. Transmits two cards (not included) for the annual assembly of one of the Academies of the Institute of France. Written on stationery of the Eglise Reformee de Paris.
Coquerel was French Protestant theologian and statesman. If referring to the reformer Elihu Burritt and indeed written by Pringle, it is possible this note was written in the late 1820s or early 1830s.
