On pages one through two of this manuscript, there is a letter by Sarah Poole to Maria Weston Chapman. Sarah Poole thanks Maria W. Chapman for her gifts, including "your beautiful 'Report.'" She remarks on "the stillness of death" in her own land." Henry C. Wright has "a sleepless time of it amongst us." She quotes from a letter by Henry C. Wright to Sarah Poole's brother, telling about Wright's engagements, sleeplessness, and his meetings with John Bright, etc. She comments about Henry C. Wright, "our dear friend is much beloved by many in Ireland." Charles L. Remond's "eloquent appeals" aroused transient zeal, which quickly vanished.

On pages two through four of this manuscript, there is a separate letter by Elizabeth Poole to Maria Weston Chapman. She has copied a poem by her friend Robert R. R. Moore, entitled "On the Liberty Bell," and is submitting it for publication to the Liberty Bell.
