Description
Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Caroline Weston writes to Anne Warren Weston in regards to writing of her experience with other abolitionists from Monday to now even though she's been sick all week. She discusses her visits and experiences with Wendell Phillips, Henry and Brother [Samuel Joseph] May. She discusses an argument about Garrison that Brother May had heard regarding a rumor that John Fuller told the Perrys stating that Garrison had a "plurality of wives" and he would come out as an "infidel" to which Fuller denied ever having "told the Perrys any such thing." She writes if Anne has seen Marion's sketches of the last Society's meetings. Johnson has shown them their artful anti-slavery fair advertisement. She writes of a good audience collected at the Marlborough Chapel Sunday evening to hear Henry B. Esy & "Phelps was there." Cyrus is to go out tomorrow morning as financial agent. She writes of a harsh conversation between Johnson and Amos A. Phelps over the call to the New England convention. She writes that George Kendall and Richards are to sail for England next thursday. Pillsbury is doing great things; he has written a famous letter and sent in a hundred dollars. Lewis Tappan has "cut loose from Garrison."
