Lucy Dunnels writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to the Ipswich female anti-slavery society voted to send articles to Maria's committee for the fair given by Massachusetts anti-slavery society. She writes, "we shall not send fancy articles, but such as will be useful as a bed comforts, common cloth night-caps, caps for boys..." The question of donations for the "liberty bell" newspaper will be brought up at the next meeting. Funds are small, but she thinks they can do something. She can "beg extensively" for vegetables, produce, etcetera.
