Anne Warren Weston says that Miss Mary Estlin believes "that there will not be as much [contributions or donations] from Bristol [England] for the [Anti-Slavery] Fair as last year, not because of diminished interest but for other reasons." Anne believes that if help from foreign countries fails, that it would be advisable to discontinue the Fair altogether. She mentions the death of Miss Sargent. She discusses the renting of Thorndike Hall, instead of Faneuil Hall, for the Anti-Slavery Fair. She asks Rev. May to write for the Liberty Bell.
