notes
Holograph, signed with initials.
Maria Weston Chapman discusses an illustration for an unidentified publication, and the orders and delivery of pictures to "the Sturges" [leading members of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society]. On page five of the manuscript, Maria begins a second letter to Debora Weston, written in pencil, which deals with a picture of Debora. Maria wants instructions on how to place D.'s likeness in the picture. Henry G. Chapman's portrait is a success.
