500 $aEdmund Quincy does not want an unsealed letter to Richard Davis Webb read by Caroline Weston, because it is about the Westons. Mrs. Collins said that "Brother [Cyrus?] Pierce" was not alone in disapproving the articles (in the Liberator) signed "E. Q." and "M. W. C." (Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman); and that S. E. Sewall had expressed gratitude at the recovery of William Lloyd Garrison that there might be no more of "those horrible articles." The reason for "C.'s [Collins] sniffiness" during the annual meeting appears to have been his thinking that "there was a wish to confine the speaking to a few speakers, & to exclude others---including himself!" Edmund Quincy elaborates humorously on the absurdity of this attitude, the usage accorded himself, and his own "hide of Rhinoceros." As an example, he gives the treatment accorded to him by "Garrison, the scamp" on one occasion. Regarding William Lloyd Garrison, "I begin to think that he is the greatest obstacle to the progress of the cause. Edmund Quincy comments on the refusal of Charles Francis Adams to have anything to do with the Latimer Petition.
