Maria Weston Chapman begins the letter by telling about the activities of her children. She mentions a discussion with William Lloyd Garrison about the advisability of going to a Walker meeting where Joshua Leavitt, George Bradburn, Henry B. Stanton, and others were urging the formation of an abolitionist third party. She discusses her children's meal and bedtime schedules. She argued about Episcopalianism with her daughter, Lizzie. Chapman gives an account of her daily life. She saved her Chinese idol from wood-boring insects by pouring boiling water over it. She describes Lizzie's piano playing. On page four of the letter, she drew a pattern for a collar. Cassius M. Clay wanted an interview with Maria W. Chapman
Enclosed in the folder is an unrelated letter with the same call number, Ms.A.9.2 v.6, p.30. Most of the letter is in French. It is addressed to Madam and signed with the initials VHS
