Holograph, signed.

Maria Weston Chapman has received Elizur Wright's note and must reply in the negative to the questions in the letter. Chapman has written a number of letters to Elizur Wright, but has finally resolved not to send them. She asks if Mr. Williams can get a package, sent by the ladies of Glasgow, from the Custom House.

Maria Weston Chapman wrote the following postscript in the margin: "Tell brother [Henry B.] Stanton that (to use one of his own felicitous expressions) 'we are taking the starch out of the sanctified linen' by the dozen."
