Book Details
Edition Notes
Holograph, signed.
There are two letters contained within this manuscript. It begins with a letter from Anne Warren Weston to Deborah Weston. Anne remembers that today is Deborah's birthday. She commends a recent issue of the Liberator. Anne said: "I see Mrs. Child has been walked into in the Standard by Wm. Bolles. Anne finished reading the book, Percival Keene--interesting, but it ended poorly. The Liberty Party is to hold a meeting in which F. P. Tracy will give an address. Anne comments on the sermons she heard Sunday by S. Hawley and Mr. Peabody. She repeats a conversation with Hawley regarding the death of Henry G. Chapman and comments: "I believe he [Hawley] is a man of no feeling. All there is of him is an intense personal vanity."
On page three, begins a separate letter to Caroline Weston. Anne asks Caroline to do an errand for Mrs. Bradley, Mrs. Beane's mother, who has given $5 for the cause. The purchase may be sent by Charles L. Remond, who is expected to lecture here. The anti-slavery fair seems to be going well. "The coloured men all feel as though the fate of the nation hung in their hands." The friends here want Wendell Phillips to lecture. Anne longs for Henry G. Chapman. "I had no idea how much he was to me."
