Holograph, signed.
Eliza Lee Cabot Follen regrets being obliged to decline an invitation. She comments that "your fair is enough for you all to think of & to be weary of." Follen was grieved at not hearing from Maria [Weston Chapman]. Since Clarence Cook "has written lines in honor of Maria & done so in spite of the abuse of friends," Follen has asked him to write for the Liberty Bell. Maria W. Chapman should not accept submissions unless she is so disposed, as "an editor in her domain should be an autocrat."
