"Holograph. Rough draft. This unsigned letter is presumably by Maria Weston Chapman. Maria Weston Chapman is replying to the letter in which William Abijah White declined to give a speech at the anti-slavery fair because of certain objections. The pressure of a \"thousand little affairs at this moment prevents the full & fit answer\" to the parts relating to toleration, etc. Chapman writes: \"But the reasons of our not advertising in the Chronotype...are entirely independent of any of these considerations. Mr. [Elizur] Wright's personal character... by his intolerance to Mr. Garrison, his justification of embezzlement of the Emancipator\" make advertising in his paper undesirable and involve the danger of a disgraceful imputation. Pages 3-4 of the letter were written on a flier (printed matter) advertising the Thirteenth National Anti-Slavery Bazaar, at Fanueil Hall, on Tuesday, Dec. 22nd."
