Diary of Josephine Shaw Lowell: April 9, 1862

Father goes to Washington tomorrow on behalf of the Contraband Society, to try and persuade the Government to take the matter in hand. They have so much to do that it will be a difficult matter to get them to do anything. Dr. Hooper 1 goes with him, representing the Boston Society.
