Title
[Letter to] Dear Mrs. Chapman [manuscript]
Publisher
Newburyport, [Mass.]
Description
Holograph, signed
There is an unrelated receipt (financial record) with the same Call No., Ms.A.9.2 v.9, p.84, signed by John G. Whittier, 30 Oct. 1837, that reads: "Received of A. A. Phelps, for the Mass. A. S. Society, eleven dollars, to defray travelling expenses to the Quarterly meeting of said society at Worcester."
Noticing Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman's advertisement of the anti-slavery fair and the Liberty Bell, it occurred to Thomas Wentworth Higginson that "that you may intend using this year certain verses of mine that were last year too late." He requests that if the verses are printed, his present place of residence may be appended "to identify them the more." He also asks that the printers leave the capital letters as they are in the manuscript, "which printers are always lo[a]th to do." Higginson has also proposed to his friend Samuel Johnson of Salem to contribute to the Liberty Bell, as Johnson is "deeply interested in the cause." Higginson hopes to visit Boston at the time of the anti-slavery fair. He expresses his "deeply-rooted" interest and his sympathy for Chapman's "portion of the Anti-Slavery body." Higginson explains: "Still, my own tendency is to liberalism as regards others' action & individualism as regards my own."
