"Holograph, signed. Annie Allen thanks Maria Weston Chapman for the beautiful gift of \"American algae.\" She tells about the \"great anti corn law affair\" at which 50,000 pounds are expected to be realized. She comments on this year's Liberty Bell, especially on the contributions of Longfellow and Lizzie Poole; she does not think that the portrait of Wendell Phillips does him justice. [Longfellow's ballad, \"The Norman Baron,\" is in the Liberty Bell for 1845, p. 31-35.] She asks why Mrs. Lydia Maria Child does not now write for the Liberty Bell or other anti-slavery publications. Annie Allen regrets not seeing Lydia Maria Child's signature in the Standard or Liberator, \"for she was a favourite writer.\" She asks about David Thomas, whether he is \"mentally and morally in Collins's or any other community.\" She comments on Nathaniel P. Rogers and the Herald of Freedom."
