In this letter, William Lloyd Garrison introduces Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman to Dr. Hodgson. Garrison says about Mrs. Chapman: "Her devotion to the anti-slavery cause, for the last fourteen years, has been unsurpassed; and no one has been more calm in the hour of peril, none more hopeful in the hour of darkness, none more active in the hour of general despondency, than herself." Mrs. Chapman will be accompanied by her sister, Miss Caroline Weston.

On the verso, this delivery address has been crossed out: Dr. Hodgson, President of the Mechanics' Institute, Liverpool, Eng[land]. The address has been corrected to: Charlton High School, Manchester.
