Probably in his English experience he had never before encountered a religious person who was not beating up subscriptions. His correspondence at this period relates chiefly to his business concerns. He had at last come up with the letters withheld during his five months of captivity, and began to understand what had given him so much anxiety while he was a prisoner of war the long silence of his friends in England, especi- ally of his brother and late partner, George Russell. When the rumour w...as first received in Birmingham that the English passengers on the Mary had been seized by the French it was discredited, and, even when confirmed in William Russell's letters from Brest, his friends, not unnaturally, assumed that he would almost immediately be released. The pro- longation of their captivity was as unexpected in England as it was unexplained in France. Russell, with the courage and persistence dis- played against his persecutors in Birmingham, now set himself to get damages from the Republic, and filed a claim for the expenses incurred through his capture and for the maintenance of himself and family in prison.
