notes
Holograph, signed.
Sarah Hussey Earle encloses money collected early in the year. She regretfully explains that there are no working anti-slavery women in Worcester. Many former good abolitionists believe that the world will soon be destroyed when the slaves are liberated and effort is therefore unnecessary.
