Title:
Letter from Eliza Fuller Gill, Fitchburg, [Massachusetts], to Maria Weston Chapman, 1840 Jan[uary] 21
Description:
Eliza Fuller Gill writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to her attempt to send contributions to her society then to the Lynn Fair but was prevented from doing so by the Board of Managers of her society. They voted to send what children's clothing they had to them with the request of giving them to the "Asylum for Colored Children." They have other clothing items they wish for the Massachusetts anti-slavery society to have but they await instruction on whether they should send them to Boston or sell them in Fitchburg. She writes, "if we sell them here it will probably be for the simple worth of them."
