Book Details


Edition Notes

Holograph, signed.

In order to save on duty, the prices on the merchandise sent for the Boston anti-slavery fair have been marked at one third of the price they are expected to fetch. Isabel Jennings requests that Maria Weston Chapman send a few newspapers with an account of the fair. All the brushes sent from "poor men" are from those in the Messrs Narian's brush manufactory. Miss Esther Bright, sister of John Bright, M.P., sent a parcel of "nice things," but since they were delayed, they will have to remain until next year. Isabel Jennings mentions the impression made by Frederick Douglass's lectures. Several pieces of poetry have been composed in honor of Douglass's visit. Maria W. Chapman "will plan our Committee by selecting one copy of each [poem] for yourself, should you think them worthy of your acceptance." Mary B. Tuckey is the writer of several small pieces. Any of the poems that Maria W. Chapman approves of may be printed. Isabel Jennings signs this letter, "your sincere friends, 'The Cork Ladies Anti-Slavery Soiciety'! Isabel Jennings, Sec[retary]."

In the postscript, Isabel Jennings transcribes part of a letter from Richard Davis Webb concerning the valuation of a drawing, etc. Isabel Jennings also gives a list of people to whom copies of the National Anti-Slavery Standard should be sent.

Includes an envelope with the delivery address: Mrs. M.W. Chapman, 39 Summer Street, Boston, U.S. America. And the notation: "Prepaid---Per first Steamer for Boston, U.S. America."
