Mary Brady presumably wrote this letter to Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman. Mary Brady thanks Maria W. Chapman for the Liberty Bell and the papers. She discusses Frederick Douglass for most of the letter. Mary Brady says: "Many here have become deeply attached to him." She refers especially to the treatment he received on the steamer Cambria, where he excluded from the saloon on account of his color.
