Lowell, Mass

Boston Friday Evening

Dear Bradburn,

     I have been gone today—came home and learned to my astonishment, from the Chronicle of this morning, that the paper is discontinued--the Emancipator, sold to Abraham Cummings. Mention is made of there being a prospect [?] of the paper being continued under the old editor. But I apprehend from the tenor of the announcement that the concern [?] is likely to stop entirely –all but the Emancipator certainly. If it should, would it not offer a good chance for you to start a paper here? Hildreth, I have little doubt would join you, if you should wish him to do so—

                             Yours in haste,

                             L.S.
