500 $aEdmund Quincy asks Maria Weston Chapman to read the proof of the article "The Poetry of Hanging" for the next issue of the Non-Resistant, and also to deliver another article for insertion. He remarks on the amount of work that John A. Collins has laid out for the New York committee. Referring to Gerrit Smith's Convention (the New York Liberty Party Convention?), Edmund Quincy approves of Collins's plan of using William Lloyd Garrison for four weeks in New York. In this case, Edmund Quincy is willing to furnish editorial for one half of the Liberator, if Maria W. Chapman provides for the other half. Edmund Quincy writes: "They are, most of them, 3'd party men because they know no better & do not know how to go to work for themselves in a better way." It is good that "[Daniel?] O'Connell has new organised!"
