notes
Holograph, signed.
On page 1-2 of the manuscript, there is a letter by Hannah Webb to Maria Weston Chapman. She discusses religious beliefs, the condition of Polish exiles in the United States, the Herald subscriptions, and Nathaniel P. Rogers. Economic conditions are bad, yet things look brighter.
On page 2, there is a separate letter by Elizabeth Poole to Maria Weston Chapman. Poole thanks Chapman for the copy of James Russel Lowell's poems. She will always work for the anti-slavery bazaars. O'Connell is not in town.
