              <text>Jane Wigham sends the list of contributions that are in the box being sent from Edinburgh. The box will sail in the packet ship from Liverpool on the 19th. She comments on some of the items included in the box. Many distinguished autographs may be had there. She mentions the knitted caps made by the daughter of Judge Marshall, formerly of Nova Scotia. Wigham asks if J. S. Buckingham's "Invocation" will arrive in time for the Liberty Bell. The list of contributions from Sarah and B. Hilditch is enclosed; they send a Welsh doll for Frederick Douglass. The amount of goods this year is short of last year, most of the contributors having worked for local bazaars. Wigham alludes to "the course our friend George Thompson intends to pursue." Wigham asks what Maria Weston Chapman thinks of the free labor movement. She remarks on the adversity suffered by many friends.</text>
