Book Details
Edition Notes
Holograph, signed.
On pages 1-2 of this manuscript, there is a letter by Increase S. Smith to Caroline Weston. Increase S. Smith has on this day ascertained the names of four beetles. He read the Liberator and the Anti-Slavery Standard, and had a peep at the Hingham Patriot. The Hingham Patriot "contains a choice morsel, I can assure you, of pro-slavery." He expresses satisfaction with the reform movements of the town at present. Increase S. Smith says: "On the subject of Temperance they have done wonders, and they give intimation of a strong movement in favour of true liberty."
On pages 3-4, there is a separate letter by Evelina A. S. Smith to Caroline Weston. Evelina A. S. Smith has learned from Charles L. Remond that the Chapmans have departed for the winter. Evelina found Charles L. Remond "exceedingly intelligent and agreeable." She discusses with enthusiasm the Mr. [Theodore] Parker's lectures. Evelina comments about Parker's lecture: "It was the richest treat that I ever enjoyed." The Bradfords, Westons, and other in Duxbury "were half crazy about him." She thinks that Theodore Parker will do as much or more for the abolition cause than direct agents. Evelina is looking forward to Caroline Weston spending "Fast with us."
