Letter from Lydia Dean, Salem, [Massachusetts], to Maria Weston Chapman, 1840 December 19

Lydia Dean writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to returning the remainder of tickets for the anti-slavery "Soiree." She is sorry to say that the doll she collected cannot be dried by her friend due to the loss of her father. She received a letter from Mrs. Philbrick saying she wished Mrs. Lawrence was engaged to assist Maria. She discusses women abolitionists who will be up on monday to "take charge of the Salem table."
