Title:
Letter from A.B. Ordway, Boston, [Massachusetts], to Maria Weston Chapman, 1840 Jan[uary] 21
Description:
A.B. Ordway writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to sending her several copies of the "Golden Rule" and accompany them with a request that during the anti-slavery meetings occurring this week she will use her influence to enlist an interest among the friends from abroad who may happen to be in the city at that time. She believes that the "Golden Rule" must get its support from friends of the old organization. She inquires after the names and residences of members of the Boston female anti-slavery society in favor of a change of officers in that society. She asks her advice for holding a meeting of the Golden Rule Association, or if they should hold a New England convention in May.
