Holograph, signed with initials
Maria Weston Chapman writes that she is going to New York. She tells about anti-slavery newspapers. She believes necessity will compel slaveholders to free their slaves. She mentions volunteers for the Union armies. Augustus Hesse was outfitted with a havelock [a havelock is a covering attached to a cap to protect the neck from the sun or bad weather]. She also discusses Joseph Ricketson and his little boy; the capture of $800,000 at New Orleans, which Warren Weston's firm will transmit to Hope & Co.; prisioners and war casualties; Garrison and the British attitude toward the Civil War; Chinese atrocities in the Tai-Ping rebellion; and capital punishment, which Chapman deplores. Chapman says that Elizabeth (Lizzy) Bates Chapman Laugel can see the European reaction to the war better than she can. She comments on Lord Palmerston's policy and the advance of governmental reform in England. Chapman says: "We must have a revolution, by necessity of the case--being logically minded. She discusses calling people hypocrites and philosophizes generally about the Civil War
