Edition Notes
Holograph, signed with initials.
This manuscript is most likely a rough draft of a letter by Maria Weston Chapman to Elizur Wright, since passages have been crossed out. Maria Weston Chapman expresses her deep conviction of the "absolute necessity of holding by Garrison with a giant-grasp at this moment." She reproaches the New York abolitionists for not noticing the conduct of those Iscariots, James Trask Woodbury, and Charles Fitch. Chapman writes: "It cannot be surely that you fear to be called a 'manworshipper' or a 'Garrisonite.' It cannot be that you are deceived by the black hearted ministry of our country ..." She is shocked that they are leaving William Lloyd Garrison and Amos A. Phelps "to attack the theological demon alone!" She praises Garrison and considers his letter to Woodbury "a thing that will be hereafter cited as an instance of moral independence--truly wonderful." A sign of danger from temptations in New York "bursts upon" Maria W. Chapman.
See Call No. Ms.A.9.2 v.9, p.68 for Elizur Wright's reply to Maria Weston Chapman; Wright's letter is dated Sept. 15, 1837.
