Under the salutation, the number "142" is written in pencil, while in the head- spine corner of the page a small checkmark has been drawn in pencil.Catherine A.F. Stebbins writes to William Lloyd Garrison asking if he would lecture before the "Ladies Anti-Slavery Soc[iety]" at some time during the coming lecture season. Stebbins states that the society "should like to have ... Wendell Phillips, and Theodore Parker. Lucy Stone or Charles Sumner - or perhaps William H. Furness Charles Lenox Remond or W.W. Brown, it depends upon who we can get." She says that she hopes many of the speakers, including Garrison, will be able to make their way to Rochester following "a course of Anti Slavery lectures at Syracuse." In the postscript, Stebbins says her husband "meant to have been at the meeting but is at Linesville Pa. at the Convention there the same days."
