Title:
Letter from Experience Billings, Foxborough, [Massachusetts], to Maria Weston Chapman, 1840 August 31
Description:
Experience Billings writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to praising Maria for her published work. She gives an account of the anti-slavery cause in her neighborhood. She writes that "the ministers are both on the wrong side & Mr. Poor has fix't his people so that all their labor is to oppose Mr. Garrison's sabbath views." She has spent much time with the young abolitionists, but their parents don't encourage them. She gives individual instances of ignorance in the anti-slavery field. She discusses practical matters of boxes and bonnets for the anti-slavery fair.
