notes: "Holograph, signed with initials. Maria Weston Chapman writes: \"I had got the [John] Brown jackets for Standards, as you see.\" She comments on a financial transaction involving Edmund Quincy, Francis Jackson, Samuel J. May, and herself. Chapman elaborates on the topic: \"May is a wonderful Blunderer. ...Ministers don't make good Bookkeepers. They have not the instinct.\" She says that \"Mary is better. ...She was just gone of starvation, & has to be fed slowly like taken off a wreck.\" Mrs. Lydia Maria Child called. Wendell Phillips brought Augustus Wattles of Kansas, \"once a Lane Siminary boy,\" who was \"wild with delight\" at seeing Maria W. Chapman. Chapman said: \"They got $120 for Kansas, at the meeting yesterday.\" Jefferson Davis \"spits up Compromise.\""
