Holograph, signed with initials.
Mary Gray Chapman has made arrangements for Lizzy [Elizabeth Bates Chapman Laugel]'s wardrobe. Elizabeth [Elizabeth Bates Chapman Laugel] has teased Emma; Mary G. Chapman's own patience is sometimes nearly exhausted by her. Mary G. Chapman asks if Debora Weston was in jest or in earnest in her congratulations on G. G.'s marriage. The records of the [Ladies' Anti-Slavery?] Convention "appear very bare without any of the speeches recorded." And indeed, even if they were recorded, Mary G. Chapman does not think that "our brethren would recognize our equality. There are few Angelinas [Angelina Grimke Weld?]." The most interesting remarks, were those made by Sarah Grimke. Mary G. Chapman asks if Debora has heard anything regarding the [Anti-Slavery] "Fair" meeting, and whether Mrs. [Joshua?] Leavitt has left town. If Debora Weston is at the library, would she send any old or new books "that will do."
