Lucy Browne presumably sent this letter to Maria Weston Chapman. Lucy Browne encloses the bill of lading for the six packages sent to the Boston bazaar. All the participants would like to know if "public opinion in England" furthers the anti-slavery cause or "whether its expression may not be regarded by some as an undesirable interference." The visits to England made by some of the American friends of freedom have had a good effect.
Notes (date):
This date is inferred.
