Maria Weston Chapman sends Elizabeth Pease Nichol a "steel-bead bag" as an "expression of our gratitude for your unwearied interest in the cause ..." She tells of the dissolution of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society. She claims that Martha V. Ball and members of the Society who withdrew to form a new society acted dishonestly. W[illiam] Adam has been appointed as a delegate to the World's Anti-Slavery Convention. Maria Weston Chapman has been trying to raise his passage money. She is working for the anti-slavery fair. She asks Elizabeth Pease Nichol to write something for a "second number of the Liberty Bell." Elizabeth Pease Nichol will probably meet Lucretia Mott at the convention.
