Holograph, signed.

Miss Carpenter is anxious to write to Maria Weston Chapman but does not have her address. John Bishop Estlin has offered to send Miss Carpenter's letters to Maria Weston Chapman, care of Mr. James Oswald Murray in Paris. John B. Estlin is indebted to James Oswald Murray for the Paris printing of the French translation of Frederick Douglass' narrative made by Miss Parkes. The author of a little book, A Word in Behalf of the Slave, wishes to send it to Maria Weston Chapman; Estlin will forward one of his own copies, and he also intends to present some copies to the next Boston fair. Estlin has written to W. H. Channing "to inquire which of the original portraits of Dr. [William Ellery] Channing it is that I have in my possession."
