This manuscript is apparently a rough draft of a letter, presumably by Maria Weston Chapman to Mrs. Louisa Loring. Chapman writes: "May we, the friends who know not how to do without you, & who never can learn, which your acceptance of this little memorial of the 24th A.S. [Anti-Slavery] Fair--the first from which you have been absent since you and Mrs. [Lydia Maria] Child founded that 'peculiar institution,' to which both anti-slavery friendship & finance are so much indebted." On page two of the letter, there is a list of contributors and the amounts contributed.
This letter was written on the blank pages and margins of a flier (printed matter) advertising the 24th National Anti-Slavery Bazaar.
