Additional Details

A letter conveying a draft for 140 pounds (a considerable sum) for the use of the Rochester Ladies Anti-Slavery Society, which at this time was devoting its efforts to contraband relief. We could not find much more on Ms. Clapper other than she was a member of a corresponding Bristol Ladies Anti-Slavery group.
