In this extract he describes his feelings for his mother, who remained enslaved throughout her life. He also describes the correspondence published in the Times in 1824 between himself and James Wedderburn?s legitimate son, who disputed Robert?s claim to the family name. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Wedderburn | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Wedderburn, Robert | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
