500 $aMaria Weston Chapman says that she has met a number of pro-slavery people who have changed their minds. Some people favor carrying "republican institutions" through Europe "by fire & sword." She comments on William Henry Seward, Fremont, and other political figures. She thinks Lincoln will be re-elected. She discusses John Forbes's patriotic activities. She objects to the taunting of pro-slavery penitents. She praises a sermon by Edward L. Pierce. She thinks that the rising generation will handle the problems of the freed slaves better than the old abolitionists. She refers to the effect of the public debt when the war industries slack off. She received a photograph of Robert Gould Shaw from his mother. Maria W. Chapman and William Lloyd Garrison agree that England should not be charged with responsibility for "charging Land & rams & Roebucks."
