Description

Holograph, signed.Mary Anne Estlin declines Maria Weston Chapman's invitation to visit her at the home of Harriet Martineau. She thought a meeting at the railroad station at Kendal Junction might have been arranged. She wishes Maria W. Chapman would personally interview the Scotch abolitionists. Mary A. Estlin said: "The Wighams long to know you personally, ...Old Mr. Wigham (the husband of Mrs. W. & Eliza's father) hates the whole thing, grumbles at the upturning of the house at Bazaar time, ...Then those Wighams with whom Mrs. Stowe stayed are very much of the Anna Richardson school, without her activity." Mary A. Estlin speaks of the change in her relations to the cause resulting from her father's death. She gives her travel plans.
