Maria Weston Chapman sends an article by Prof. Nassau W. Senior of Oxford, which she thinks may prove valuable. The article discusses Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's influence. Chapman authorizes the necessary expenditure for printing the article in pamphlet format. She mentions the death of John Bishop Estlin. She philosophizes on death and immortality. She discusses Mary Anne Estlin and Harriet Martineau and their respective views on death and their Christian beliefs in regard to death. She mentions Andrew Robeson and discusses the Quaker attitude toward death. She speaks of Anne Chapman, who died. She has some money to spend for the anti-slavery fair. She mentions a medalion "that Floreska Lecomte sent an artist to me to do." She sends the translations of French articles. The originals went to Wilson Armistead for inclusion in his book. Chapman is sending some things by John Forbes, who she thinks may become an abolitionist.
