notes
"Holograph, signed. Isabel Jennings and the Cork Ladies Anti-Slavery Society is sending contributions to the fair in Boston. She regrets that the donated items are not more valuable, but nearly all members had to work at two local bazaars. Some people have asked \"what alteration has been caused by the Bazaars in the state of feeling in the United States.\" She suggests that this question might be treated in the little Bazaar Gazette. A good supply of gazettes is desired for the purpose of keeping up interest. If the Rochester bazaar comes off this year, some contributions will have to be sent there, as Frederick Douglass was instrumental in securing new members. On page three of the manuscript, the letter is signed \"your sincere friends, I. Jennings.\" A space is evidently left for a second name, with the signature followed by the word \"Secretaries.\" On page four of the manuscript, there is a note by Mary Mannix. Mannix hopes that there are not too many seaweed pieces (in the box for the fair). The articles sent have been valued at 15 or 18 pounds for the custom house, but it is hoped that they will bring over 45 pounds. Includes an envelope with the delivery address: Miss A. W. Weston, 25 Cornhill, Boston, United States."
