In this letter, Paulina Saxton Wright Davis writes that the anti-slavery fair in Syracuse, NY, did not succeed as well as hoped; it cleared $160, and had many articles left, which Abby Kelley proposes to take to Seneca Falls for another anti-slavery fair. "Colorphobia" is raging with greater violence since the visit of C. L. Remond and Frederick Douglass than ever before. If prospects look more encouraging after the annual meeting in November, will send money for the purchase of articles, more especially books -- "Garrisons & Pierponts poems and your Liberty Bell."
