notes: "Holograph. This is incomplete, rough draft of a letter by Maria Weston Chapman in answer to a letter and resolution respecting the \"unhappy dissensions\" in the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society. Maria Weston Chapman accuses the board members of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society, who appeared to be \"united in spirit with the clerical appeal,\" and stresses the duty of resisting wrong and treachery in the society. Chapman writes: \"A grand cause of your darkness & want of information on this subject has been the course of the Pennsylvania Freeman.\" The last leaf of the manuscript, consists of information separate from this letter. It contains a rough draft of an appeal for a petition to Congress to call a convention to pass an amendment protecting fugitive slaves. The verso, contains part of \"A Hymn to the God of Tempests\" and two names of non-resistant subscribers."
