Edition Notes

Holograph, signed.

Edmund Quincy begins this letter with remonstrances regarding Caroline Weston not having written to him. He read William Wells Brown's narrative and found it excellent. Edmund Quincy said: "It is a long time since I have seen a man, white or black, that I have cottoned to so much as I have to Brown, on so short an acquaintance." Edmund Quincy is the sub-editor of the Rev. Charles Spear. He went to a reception for President Polk. Not many people turned out to see him. He describes the meager welcome given the presidential procession. "What do they say in N.B. to the re-affiancing of Anna Motley to Alfred Rodman?" Edmund Quincy says that "Miss Shaw, the daughter of the Chief Justice is engaged to Typee Melville [Herman Melville]." He mentions Deborah Yerrinton's latest literary effort and his own letters. [Deborah Yerrinton is Edmund Quincy's pen name.] He tells of a financial dispute between William Wells Brown and Charles Lenox Remond over the disposition of money collected at Bristol County Anti-Slavery meetings. Edmund Quincy negotiated with Frederick Douglass for a series of letters to be published in the National Anti-Slavery Standard. He thinks Frederick Douglass wanted too much for them. Edmund Quincy discusses a problem connected with Caroline Weston's school in New Bedford.
