"Holograph, signed with initials. The beginning of the letter seems to be missing. The recipient of this letter is unknown. In this letter, Maria Weston Chapman announces a meeting of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society. She outlines its objectives. She answers the slaveholders' accusation that George Thompson is a foreigner. She says Thompson preaches temperance as a reformed drinker. She gives instructions about the prayer to be said at the meeting."
