notes: "Holograph, signed. Maria Weston Chapman says that the anti-slavery cause is prospering in Boston. However, the converts to abolitionism \"seem to hate the persons of abolitionists more than ever.\" Chapman goes on to explain this apparent inconsistency. She asks \"if $1200 will enable the editorial department of the Liberator to move forward with sufficient ease.\" Wendell Phillips said that in Worcester County the \"Emancipator certainly left men asleep.\" Attended the funeral of Mrs. Amos Augustus Phelps. Chapman is planning to have a portrait of John Quincy Adams painted by William Page. H.C. Wright has been lecturing in Weymouth. Chapman writes: \"I send you Emerson's oration.\" It has caused quite a stir in Cambridge. Mr. Shackford of Portsmouth spoke well at the Harvard commencement. Chapman criticises the preoccupation of important men with minor things."
