Title:
Letter from Charlotte Austin, Nantucket, [Massachusetts], to Maria Weston Chapman, 1840 [October] 9
Description:
Charlotte Austin writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to adopting a plan similar to the one she proposed for furnishing a table at the Massachusetts anti-slavery fair. They have a committee whose immediate duty is to solicit donations, collect and prepare articles. She is uncertain whether her society will be represented at the fair. They left with Sarah Southwick several feet of silk to be stamped and asks her to forward them back so they may manufacture them. George Bradburn is now with them and they have had a meeting and an address from him. He "defined his position & was received with unbounded applause" at a Whig meeting.
