Holograph, signed
In this letter, Maria Weston Chapman thanks Elizabeth Pease Nichol for the letters and newspapers related to the British Indian question sent to her by George Thompson. She thinks that the Chartists should aid the British Indian reform movement. She regrets that the American Quakers are opposed to the abolitionists and feels sorry for William Bassett, a former Quaker. The Democrats in western New York persuaded the abolitionists there to nominate anti-slavery candidates "to weaken the forces of the Whigs." The "Garrison-haters" used the idea as a plausible pretext for opposition to the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. She compares the treachery of Gerrit Smith, a third party man, to that of a member of the British India Society, who secretly opposes it. Maria Chapman would like to meet Elizabeth Pease Nichol face to face and see George Thompson again
