Description

Holograph, signed.In reference to a package of handbills for calling a meeting of the New Bedford [Anti-Slavery] Society, Maria Weston Chapman exhorts Deborah Weston to see to it that five "important particulars" are attended to, and enumerates them. Chapman wants the delegation to the quarterly Massachusetts meeting to be very large. She said: "Let everything that hath breath speak." Preparations are being made for the entertainment of delegates free of expense. Chapman writes: "[Samuel J.?] May is in town--Shilly Shally--I wish he could but believe men will sometimes lie." She praises John A. Collins.This letter is written on the blank spaces and pages of a flier (printed matter) from Francis Jackson, the president of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, to the abolitionists of Massachusetts.
