500 $aEdmund Quincy sends his congratulations to Caroline Weston's family on the birth of a daughter to Henry Grafton Chapman and Maria Weston Chapman. Edmund Quincy writes: "What does he [Henry] think of a third daughter? For my part I think it well to have that stock of women kept up." Edmund Quincy conveys the substance of a letter from Arthur Tappan concerning censored passages in the last issue of the Anti-Slavery Reporter. Edmund Quincy comments on the character of Isaac Knapp and the struggle of the Liberator committee "with the storms of fate." Edmund Quincy remarks on the inconsistency of Samuel J. May in his attitude toward sectarianism and intolerance. He inserts an anecdote about Sydney Howard Gay, who has become an abolitionist. He tells about a conversation with his friend, Mrs. King, who told Edmund Quincy about Major and Mrs. Lomax, Virginians who emancipated their slaves. Edmund Quincy wonders about the extext of anti-slavery expression in the sermons of [Charles?] Simmons. He wishes Caroline Weston could talk with the members of the Dedham Female Anti-Slavery Society, as "their ignorance of business is remarkable."
