Contrary to Catherine Paton's expectations, they have been able to send their contributions (to the Boston anti-slavery fair) when Maria Weston Chapman wanted them. It was an effort, but "with willing hearts & hands all went to work." She states that they have "still to contend with apathy and clerical influence." Another box may be sent by the steamer of December 4th.
