Description

Holograph, signed.Edward Morris Davis asks Maria Weston Chapman to buy and send him $2 worth of paper with the "slave" stamped on it. He gives information on prospects of selling the Liberty Bell here. He is looking forward to a visit of some weeks from James Russell Lowell and Maria Lowell; he felt, however, disillusioned on hearing that Lowell voted the Liberty ticket. [James Russell Lowell married Maria White in Dec. 1844.] Edward M. Davis is glad that Mary Grew has written for the Liberty Bell; "she is a darling." Edward M. Davis guesses that C.C.B. [Charles Calistus Burleigh] does not disagree with Maria W. Chapman as much as formerly on "that subject." Since Abby Kelley [Foster] came, they have had six meetings; he comments that "she will do good but not please much." Edward M. Davis does not see the necessity of "descanting so fully about the stolen property of the Society."
