"Holograph, signed. There is little anti-slavery sentiment here. Mary E. Miles says that the \"New Organization seems to have crept in as it has everywhere in some form they have a male and female society.\" Last year they cast a hundred votes, this year twenty-five. \"Many Liberty Party men forgot when the day of election came around.\" She thinks that if Wendell Phillips lectures here, it would do much good. She refers to the sitting of the legislature. \"The Whigs promise to make some effort towards restoring to the colored people their political rights.\" Mary E. Miles has sold several of Frederick Douglass's books. She inquires about a Mr. Wellington, and refers to his alleged \"good reason for not offering Miss Miles a situation in his school.\""
