He discusses Miss Chapman's "keen judge of character" agrees with her remarks on Miss Stowe's being someone "hardly touched by the turmoil of the Abolition warfare." He discusses reprinting articles from the Boston Bazaar. He writes that he "feels no inclination to proclaim that [factious] fair got up by Julia Griffiths for Douglass."
