Description
Holograph, signed
An appeal for aid is made in supporting the agency of Mrs. Lydia Maria Child and her husband in England for promoting the good cause of abolition. Caroline Weston points out that it is a matter of pride and satisfaction that the ladies of New Engalnd "will be so well represented." The money is to be raised partly in New York, partly in Boston. The gentlemen of the Anti-Slavery Society who have pledged themselves for the requisite sum will gladly receive aid from the ladies. She believes that they are mistaken in their expectations, for, although Mrs. Child's talents and virtues are praised, few will in these times actively encourage "any measure of any abolitionist." Caroline reviews what the Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society has done and promised to do in the way of financial support. She details the expected activitities and influence of Mrs. Child, who is to leave Boston August 8th. Caroline hopes to welcome both of Mrs. Hammatt's daughters as pupils at the end of vacation on September 1
On page four of this letter, Caroline Weston writes a postscript praising a speech by George Thompson and says that he is in danger of "at least outrage & insult at every step."
On pages 1-2, there is cross-writing
