Edition Notes

Holograph, signed.

Amos Farnsworth thanks Anne Warren Weston for her account of the Norfolk County meeting. Amos Farnsworth comments that Nathaniel Colver "must have appeared very ridiculous." Alanson St. Clair "kept his word better there than here," where, after having promised not to quarrel, he "immediately went at it with all bitterness." William Lloyd Garrison lectured at Worcester to a full house, then at Townsend. Amos Farnsworth tells about Amos Augustus Phelps's and Alanson St. Clair's attacks on Garrison at the meeting in Groton. On the second day of the meeting, William Lloyd Garrison gave one of his best lectures. Dudley Phelps, the minister in Groton, "declared in his sermon, that the design of the abolitionists & their reformers was to promote their own licentiousness." Alanson St. Clair and Amos A. Phelps "appeared to fellowship him [Dudley Phelps] most cordially---an indication of the course they are going." Wendell Phillips "took their uncivil remarks with great good humour." James Trask Woodbury desires now to be on good terms with everybody. Amos Farnsworth discusses various publications in anti-slavery papers. Boutwell, from Andover, is an agent for the for the paper the Abolitionist. Farnsworth asks: "Who pays all their Agents for getting subscribers?" In reference to Anne W. Weston's comment that she is "wild to go" to the New York anniversary, Amos Farnsworth remarks, "You are aware, I suppose that you have been considered wild for a long time."
