Source Description
James C. Jackson writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to congratulating her upon her safe return and the "renovated health" of Mr. Chapman. He missed Garrison and Nathaniel Peabody Rogers last summer. He says, "they know but little what we who were at home endured to get the Standard into being." He expresses his faith in the old organization. Since the meeting in May, he writes, "our enemies" have done much less to oppose. He wishes Garrison would visit Western New York. The Southwicks are touring the state. Jackson and all his family have been ill and he is very weak. He has confidence in the Lydia Marie Child and her husband.
