"Holograph. Maria Weston Chapman begins with a brief reference to Harriet Martineau's will. She goes on to discuss what Martineau said about the material to be included in her \"Autobiography\" and what was to be excluded. She talks about Martineau's funeral and the postmortem performed on Harriet Martineau at the request of Ellen Martineau. Mentions an effort to keep Harriet Martineau from referring to James Martineau's bad conduct in her \"Autobiography.\" A book by Princess Doria d'Istria mentions Harriet Martineau. Chapman tells of an effort to induce the city of Boston to remove two licentious teachers, one the brother of Ezra S. Gannett, and the other man named Forbes, from the coloured school. The abolitionists wanted to break up the colored school, which was founded by Rev. William Ellery Channing. Chapman criticizes Channing severely for obstructing the abolitionists whenever he could."
