Holograph, signed.
Eliza Lee Cabot Follen has just returned from Hingham and Cohassett. In this letter, she invites Maria Weston Chapman to bring her son, Henry [Grafton Chapman, Jr.], to visit her at her "cool & quiet" house. She has had "various anti-slavery 'experiences'" and a good talk with Jairus Lincoln. She asks why the Standard is sold at so low a price and why it is cheaper than the Liberator. It is preferable to have the Standard properly paid for by subscribers "than to tax A. B. & C. to support it for them."
In the postscript on the bottom of page four, Eliza Lee Cabot Follen praises the articles in the Liberator, especially mentioning Maria W. Chapman's remarks on Peabody's article.
This date is inferred.
