Letter from Wendell Phillips to Maria Weston Chapman, [1845?]

Item Information

Language:
English
Notes:
Holograph, signed with initials.
Wendell Phillips has "reported something that may pass for my answer to [John] Pierpont." Wendell Phillips is grateful for the offer of Maria Weston Chapman's mother to receive Ann Terry Greene Phillips and to aid him in going to Philadelphia. But it is impossible for Wendell Phillips to go. Through James Miller M'Kim, Wendell Phillips knows that Douglass and Remond will be there. Caroline Weston "has just awaked to find herself famous, ---as a poet! Her description of the Come outers is at once graphic & spirit stirring." Ann Terry Greene Phillips is doing quite poorly. Wendell Phillips comments on George Thompson's "poor speech on a good cause," but distrusts the Broad Street Reports of it. "Lizzie Pease has sent a good sensible piece for [the] Liberty Bell." [No contribution signed by Elizabeth Pease appeared in the Liberty Bell in 1845.]
