Title
[Partial letter to] Dear Caroline [manuscript]
Description
Holograph
The end of the letter is missing. This unsigned letter is presumably by Maria Weston Chapman
Maria Weston Chapman begins the letter with a discussion of the assignment of towns for the purpose of circulating anti-slavery petitions. She thinks the subscriptions to the anti-slavery papers should be sold instead of getting people to sign petitions. She talks about translating Gustave Auguste Beaumont's novel. Chapman writes: "You may safely say the Standard will be worth taking, this year, were it only for the Flapdoodle." She praises Charles F. Hovey for a gift to the anti-slavery fair. She describes a visit by Mrs. Amos Bronson Alcott. Mrs. Mary Fifield called, looking very ill. She tells of visits made by Emma Weston and herself and of callers who came to see her. Chapman said: "Frank Cabot, poor thing, seems to need all his friends can do for him." Chapman gives some news of her family. She comments: "The 'Harbinger' will shortly, I think, turn out pro slavery." R. G.(?) Shaw, Deacon May, and Robert Waterston, Sr., have signed the Faneuil Hall petition
