Title:
Letter from Mary Rotch, New Bedford, [Massachusetts], to Maria Weston Chapman, 1843 Nov[ember] 5
Description:
Mary Rotch writes to Maria Weston Chapman replying to an appeal for money. She sends only $5 because she doesn't approve of some of the anti-slavery lectures. She writes, "I understand that much of the product of these anti-slavery fairs goes to the payment of public lecturers, and certainly, some of their discourses are of a character which do not seem to me likely to effect any good."
