notes
"Holograph, signed. Lucia Weston writes that Dr. and Mrs. Charles Theodor C. Follen called while Maria Weston Chapman was away at Taunton. Lucia commented: \"Mrs. Follen seemed to think a great deal of Dr. [William Ellery] Channing's book.\" Lucia compares the seamen's fair with the anti-slavery fair. She comments on the letters from Angelina and Sarah Grimke to the [Samuel] Philbricks as \"the most ludicrous stuff.\" Angelina has not made up her mind and wants facts. Maria Weston Chapman went to Lynn to deliver a speech and returned the next morning, having given \"general satisfaction.\" John A. Collins is worn out collecting money from Lynn. Lucia said: \"We have found out that Lynn the last year has given a thousand and odd dollars to the cause.\" Maria Weston Chapman will probably not go to New York; Henry G. Chapman cannot go on his father's account. Lucia said: \"The pledge is going to be paid the first day of May."
