Paton, Catherine

Description

Holograph, signed.In this letter, Catherine Paton introduces Anne Warren Weston to William Symington Brown. Paton writes: "We were very happy to find that our Articles for the Bazaar were approved of & saleable." She mentions a material which was donated by Robert Reed, brother of Mary Welsh. Catherine Paton hopes that she will have the chance to meet Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman before she returns home. Henry Clarke Wright's letters in the Liberator are causing "a great shaking among the dry bones of orthodoxy." Speaking of a letter to Wendell Phillips printed in the Liberator, Catherine Paton says: "It is easy for him to shout his heretical notions in the woods of Ohio, but a very different thing in this religious city."
