Title
[Letter to] My dear friend [manuscript]
Publisher
West Roxbury, [Mass.]
Description
Holograph, signed
Eliza Lee Cabot Follen encloses the lines to Harriet Martineau by Richard Monckton Milnes and refers to the note at the bottom. She also sends a translation, which "was the most difficult thing I ever did..." She includes three different titles for Maria Weston Chapman to choose from. Follen said: "I have wept over these lines because they are the first verses I have written alone for so many years -- we did all such things together." Follen feels strongly about "this poor slave in our jail."
In the postscript on page two of this letter, Follen writes: "I have had a letter from H. Martineau & alas she is no better."
The poem "To Harriet Martineau," by Richard Monckton Milnes Houghton, that is mentioned in this letter, was published in the Liberty Bell for 1843, but without a note. The translation referred to is from the German by T.G. Salis and was published in the same issue of the Liberty Bell, with the title "To the Martyrs of Freedom."
