Book Details
Edition Notes
Holograph.
Deborah Weston is very sorry to hear of her father's illness. Deborah refers to "the Drs.'s schemes" [the doctor referred to is Amos Farnsworth]; she believes that "the plan about a paper died a natural death as soon as he left town." She tells about the friction between Garrison and Miss Mary S. Parker in connection with the [Female Anti-Slavery] Society's money for the Liberator. She reports on Mrs. Helen [Benson] Garrison's criticism of the Society and the attitude of Mrs. Thankful Hussey Southwick. Garrison called to discuss a letter he received from Anne W. Weston, which made a great impression on him. Deborah writes "the Liberator has lost nothing as yet & Oliver Johnson intends to labour very hard this winter." She tells about a meeting in Providence. "Abby Kelley & William Adams acted like fools by protesting formally against political action--not satisfied with merely voting against it."
Dr. Farnsworth's scheme is that Garrison issue a small paper with anti-slavery news to forstall the starting of a new rival paper. See Chapman, Maria Weston, Right and Wrong in Massachusetts, p.67.
The end of this letter is missing.
