Title:
Letter from George Thompson, Manchester, [England], to Maria Weston Chapman, 1842 March 1
Description:
George Thompson writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to his delay in writing to her due to his "overwhelming nature of public duties." The literature that she sends him from the U.S. is enjoyed. He writes that "Boston is indeed a changed city. I must come & look at it. I begin to think that even I might expect to stretch my wings in Fanueil Hall. What think you?" He speaks of Curtis who has "done a good work here" and who is a "sound honest man."
