Description
Holograph, signed.In this letter, Mary Grew acknowledges the gift for the Philadelphia anti-slavery fair. The fair was unusually successful; preparations have begun for a superior one this year. Mary Grew is glad to learn from Maria Weston Chapman's report of the Massachusetts Society's meeting that interest is unabated, although the Emancipator said that the old Society "is dead or dying." Sydney Howard Gay wrote to J. M. McKim [James Miller M'Kim] that the Standard was "on its last legs" and must stop at the end of the year. M'Kim favors reducing the price and size of the Standard and making it more of a national paper. Cheering news has come from Virginia and Maryland about the demand for anti-slavery publications. Frederick Douglass's narrative is doing "good work" in Maryland.
