Letter thanking a friend for hospitality during a visit. In part: “When Harriet Martineau came to America, she was invited to meet the rare group of anti-slavery men and women then living in Boston—Mrs. Garrison, Ms. Wendell Phillips, Lydia Maria Child, Maria Weston Chapman, and others…When describing the visit afterwards, she said, ‘The moment I entered the room, and looked around the company, I loved them every one with all my heart.’ My experience at Wyoming was very much like hers, in Boston.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature, and some trivial soiling.
