Description
Holograph, signedDaniel Ricketson admires Maria Weston Chapman's "long continued and still unabated exertions" in the anti-slavery cause. He sends $5 to the Liberty Bell. Ricketson has about a hundred lines in blank verse addressed to William Lloyd Garrison, which he is willing to contribute. He often sees Lizzy [Elizabeth Bates Chapman Laugel] and Caroline and Deborah Weston, who have become "quite necessary to our comfort." Mrs. Follen, her son, and Miss [Susan] Cabot have been in New Bedford. Ricketson considers Mrs. Follen "a very lovely and interesting woman..."In the postscript, Daniel Ricketson writes that he consulted C. Weston about the lines to Garrison, and "she thinks they would not be altogether appropriate."
