Source Description
Eliza Pope writes to Maria Weston Chapman approving of her suggestion to hold a meeting but in a town like "D--ten miles in circumference, with only two or three abolitionists in a neighborhood, and those most of them too poor to admit them to ride" she thinks it would be impractical to do so. She writes of the indifference and "even contempt" to the cause in her town. Even the clergymen refuse their aid. She has therefore called on the most efficient abolitionists and collected the enclosed sum.
