notes
"Holograph, signed. On the top half of page 1, there is a letter from Anna M. Hopper to Maria Weston Chapman. Hopper writes to say that the articles sent to the Philadelphia anti-slavery fair arrived too late. She expresses her sorrow at the death of Dr. Charles Theodore Christian Follen. On the bottom half of page 1 through 4, there is a separate letter by Lucretia Coffin Mott to Maria Weston Chapman. Mott begins the letter with an acknowledgment of the contributions to the Philadelphia anti-slavery fair, the circular of the contributions plan, Liberator extras, and a package containing \"Right and Wrong in Massachusetts.\" She tells of a meeting in which it was agreed that a local German paper should be subscribed to instead of the Liberator. She comments on the reasons given by the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society for its attitude in regard to the New Organization. She mentions the difficulty in finding a replacement for John Greenleaf Whittier as editor of the Pennsylvania Freeman. Also she explains his tolerant attitude toward the New Organization by saying he was a griend of H. B. Stanton. The Moral Reform Society held their annual meeting in quarters granted on condition that women should not speak in the meeting."
