Holograph, signed.
Maria Weston Chapman and Aunt Mary [Gray Chapman] are looking forward to seeing the Elizabeth and Auguste Laugel and their children. Wendell Phillips is lecturing in New York tonight against President Lincoln. George Thompson is lecturing on England and the rebellion. Chapman is not troubled by the differences between the views of William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips. Garrison put Thompson in communication with Governor Andrew, who took him to the Union Club and is going to preside at the reception given him. John Forbes is busy with it. Chapman has "left no stone unturned to prevent playing into the hands of the South." Fortunately "the ruling class in England is not the governing class--nor are Roebuck & Wharncliffe, et id gens omne either nation or government." Chapman was called to Mrs. [Frederick?] Tudor to help her arrange her late husband's papers.
