Stearns, Sarah F

Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Sarah F. Stearns writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to sending some apples for the refreshment table at the anti-slavery fair. She writes of her lack of success in Greenfield and stresses the difficulty of rousing those "whose Anti-Slavery sympathy are locked fast in the sleep of the New Organization." The October convention in Springfield has been effective there. She longs to be at the annual meeting in Boston for the Boston female anti-slavery society and read the "Report" with the deepest interest. She sent a communication to Mr. [William Lloyd] Garrison from her brother and she does not know if it has reached him at the Liberator and she asks Maria to inquire about it; the communication was a letter addressed by her brother to the church of which he was a member in Greenfield in which he was withdrawing his membership. She would like to attend the (Chardon Street) convention which "so much sneered at by the various papers."
