Anne Warren Weston is answering Margaret Fuller's letter in place of Mrs. Maria W. Chapman, who is pressed with engagements "attendant on her sudden departure for Hayti(?)." Anne is sending the last annual report of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society, written by Mrs. Chapman, "from which something of her sentiments on the position which women should occupy may be gathered." Correcting a misapprehension in Fuller's letter, Anne explains that the Anti-Slavery party "as such" has for its object only the emancipation of the slave. The one principle of the inviolability of personal freedom is the only one to which he [the abolitionist] stands committed."

The second leaf is apparently a rough draft of this letter. Anne writes: "I ended with some complimentary allusion to old times." On verso, is written: "My answer to Margaret."
