Book Details
Edition Notes
Holograph, signed.
Edmund Quincy offers consolation to Maria Weston Chapman on the death of "little Gertrude" and announces the birth of a daughter in his own house. He comments on the character of William M. Chace and his resignation from the "Am[erican] Board." He refers to "the sneers of Luther Lee at the Free American for its servility to the clergy"; he considers the paper under C. T. Torrey "the silliest thing" he has ever read. He reports on the annual meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society, with the attendance greater than in 1838. "All the services are voluntary & spontaneous." He mentions Alvan Stewart's speech, James Canning Fuller's objections, approves of Lindley Coates as president, and notes the absence of Gerrit Smith, the Tappans, Leavitt, Weld, etc. An adjournment was voted on to allow members to view Lewis Tappan's exhibition of the "Amistad captives." Mrs. Lydia Maria Child's arrival was delayed by accidents. Edmund Quincy has confidence in her handling of the National Anti-Slavery Standard in relation to the New Organization, as she has "a wholesome horror of Lewis Tappan." She comments on various people, including Joel Prentiss Bishop's "continued mischief making." Edmund Quincy urges Maria W. Chapman to consider purchasing "Riverdale" and settling in his neighborhood.
