In this letter, James Freeman Clarke explains to Maria Weston Chapman that he has not written anything worthy of submitting to the Liberty Bell this year.
Also with the same Call No. Ms.A.9.2 v.16, p.61, there is an unrelated fragment, author unknown, consisting of a note about a lace pillow presumably donated to an anti-slavery fair. It reads: "Made and contributed by by Mary Ann Elstan, Mrs. Armstrong's cook, who having little time, and no lace-pillow, sat up at night and used her bolster for one."
Notes (date):
This date is inferred.
