Description

Holograph, signed with initials.Anne Warren Weston describes a meeting at Marlboro' Hall. There were speeches about disunion, with frequent interruptions by Abigail Folsom, whose ejection from the hall by Wendell Phillips and others took place on the following evening. At the same session, John Pierpont made a "sophistical, clap trap kind of speech." "Hildreth came in & staid the afternoon in the meeting. ...I felt trembly at the sight of him." Anne mentions a Miss Negus, who painted portraits of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Fuller.
