Description

Holograph, signedOn pages 1-2 of this manuscript, there is a letter to Maria Weston Chapman, signed by "your sincere friends, M. Mannix, Is[abel] Jennings, Secretaries." They give information about the sending of articles to the Boston anti-slavery fair. They [the Cork Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society] have gained several new contributors "and not lost one old one." In a letter to Charles Lenox Remond, they have expressed the wish that no contributor be singled out by name as "particularly active." The policy has been to secure a little from several people, rather than many items from one contributorOn page 3, there is a separate letter to Maria Weston Chapman, "Signed for the friends of last year by Isabel Jennings." They assure Maria Weston Chapman that they know nothing about the New Organization. The Society has been reading the Standard because "being less local [than the Liberator?] it is more suited to our readers."
