Holograph, signed with initials.

Maria Weston Chapman begins the letter with a discussion of donations for the anti-slavery fair. James Russell Lowell's ideas on the "editorial plan" are very good. Chapman says that "He goes against initials & so would every one ..." but Edmund Quincy reported that Bourne Spooner told him that the abolitionists insisted on them. Sydney H. Gay probably wrote to the subscribers about this, but will probably have to do it all over again. Chapman tells about preparations for the anti-slavery fair.
