"Holograph, signed. Maria Weston Chapman writes that the Abolitionist newspaper must be put down, \"or it will put down the Mass. Soc.\" Therefore, it is necessary to send out agents for \"the cradle\" [the newspaper, the Cradle of Liberty], to counteract Amos A. Phelps's scheme of getting subscribers for the Abolitionist. Five hundred dollars are needed. Chapman considers a fair in New Bedford as a possible solution to the problem, and insists that Deborah Weston, along with Susan Taber, Mary Congdon, Mary Anna Bailey, etc., \"must get it up the 1st of June or so.\" The lectures of [William] Goodell could be sent all over the state by means of an effective agent."
