Holograph, signed

Mary Carpenter is sending drawings by her sister and herself, accompanied by works of other artists, for the anti-slavery fair. Some of Mary Carpenter's pupils are also sending offerings. She tells of the residences and professions of her three brothers. Having read the National Anti-Slavery Standard with great interest, Mary Carpenter regrets "that there are so many divisions among the Abolitionists." She remarks that William Lloyd Garrison "seems to me to mistake what was the position of the Dissenters before the repeal of the Test & Corporation Act." She explains the true facts. She refers to the persecution of abolitionists in America and the good fortune of colored people in England
