Holograph.
James Sloan Gibbon's corrects a wrong impression made by the careless use of a word in a note to E.G. Loring about Mrs. Lydia Maria Child's personal financial difficulties and the indebtedness of the National Anti-Slavery Standard. He fears that Mrs. Child's blunt language will antagonize the board of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society.
