A flyer, presumably written by Charles Ray, a free black member of the finance committee of the Anti-Slavery Society of New York, explaining how goods made or provided by the Anti-Slavery women of New York had been sold at bazaars by their female counterparts in Scotland. He requests that they provide more such things (drawings, books, autographs, etc.) for another such bazaar.
