Maria Weston Chapman thanks Elizabeth Pease Nichol for her article for the Liberty Bell, an anti-slavery periodical. Chapman writes: "Let me occupy the remainder of this letter in Introducing to you our dear friend, John A. Collins..." He is "to endeavour to relieve a temporary difficulty for money" caused by the sale of the Emancipator. Chapman had doubts about asking another nation for help, but rationalizes those doubts away. She suggests supplying Collins with a list of prospects. Chapman wrote to Harriet Martineau, asking for her help and influence.
