Holograph, signed with initials.
Maria Weston Chapman instructs Debora Weston to bring Amos A. Phelps's letter to John F. Emerson. She wants Debora to ask Mary Congdon to come to us at the New England Convention and to tell the New Bedford people to prepare a table for our fair. Henry B. Stanton and John Greenleaf Whittier are going to Europe. The mayor of Philadelphia asked Lucretia Mott not to walk with black people. Maria W. Chapman plans to issue a copy of Right and Wrong in Boston. Chapman comments: "Think of the wicked Phelps & his harem, the Boston Female!"
