Notes:
Holograph, signed.
Mr. Theodore Parker has promised to contribute to the Liberty Bell. Susan Copley Cabot regrets that she has not been inspired. The poetry in the Latimer Journal gave great delight, and "our young people sang the songs to their affixed tunes, and it sounded well." At the house of Susan C. Cabot's sister (Mrs. Eliza Lee Cabot Follen), all were assembled to read Dickens when Frank (Francis George) Shaw came in and told them that Latimer would probably be free today. "We hear too that Gray has sneaked off!" Susan C. Cabot supposes that the abolitionist women know the whereabouts of Latimer's wife and child.
