"Holograph, signed. Includes envelope. Thomas Wentworth Higginson reports on some legal aspects of the Anthony Burns case. He doubts that a Massachusetts jury will convict Theodore Parker. He tells about Asa O. Butman, a police officer who was driven out of Worcester by a mob for attempting to investigate the Burns case. He refers to the Woman's Rights Movement. Says that he is going to be tried in a federal court. Higginson writes: \"The specialite to which I would like to devote myself for a year or two, had I time would be a History of Woman in Italy ---or more modestly--- a Literary History of Italian Women ... Mrs. S. J. Hale in her bulky book has drawn on the Italian sources & told more about them than any one else ...\" Theodore Parker's sermon, \"Women & Her Wishes,\" and Mrs. Stanton's \"Appeal to the N.Y. Legislature\" should be translated into French. Higginson said: \"Lucy Stone with her usual energy has had a series of five tracts stereotyped.\" Higginson praises her eloquence. He criticizes the \"Philosophie de XIXme Siecle,\" by Grespin(?)."
