The Lynn Women's Anti-Slavery Society has felt sufficiently encouraged by Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman and her friends to proceed with its plans for a fair. The children's hose, mittens, and toys sell the best in Lynn. Eliza Boyce writes: "Were it not for a few individuals I believe the society would long before this have disbanded." She complains of a spirit of indifference and apathy. She invites Maria W. Chapman and Mrs. Lydia Maria Child to address the Lynn Women's Anti-Slavery Society
