Book Details
Edition Notes
Holograph.
The end of the letter is missing.
Maria Weston Chapman writes that Loring Moody was appointed general agent, in place of Charles King Whipple, who resigned. Hollis Street Church wanted Ephraim Peabody "whereupon Francis [Jackson?] & Sam. May senior had protested." The church now wants a pro-slavery preacher. Chapman wrote to England regarding items for the anti-slavery fair. She lists the contributions for the fair. She got two barrels of sugar from a Captain Moses of New Orleans. There are sixteen cases of smallpox at Brook Farm. Chapman fumigated a letter from there in vinegar steam. Chapman writes: "E[lizur] Wright is rubbing hard against the Committee in the new paper--'the Free State rally,' like a cat in a catnip garden." Elizur Wright is "wretchedly poor."
