James Sloan Gibbons presumably sent this letter to Maria Weston Chapman. Gibbons would spurn money from Abraham L. Pennock, while he is associated with Lewis Tappan. Gibbons explains his relations with Lydia M. Child and the National Anti-Slavery Standard. He reports on the work of Dr. Erasmus D. Hudson and their poor opinion of John Anderson Collins, who lost the confidence of Abby Kelley [Foster]. He discusses David Lee Child and William Adam as possible editors of the Standard.
