Description
Holograph. More than half of the bottom of the third / four pages are cut offAnne Warren Weston will start for New York in an hour, going "under the matronage" of Mrs. Thankful Southwick, and taking the outer passage on board the Lexington. Mentions other friends who will be going that way. Henry Farnsworth is a delegate from the Groton Juvenile Society. Anne has received a commission from Franics Jackson to act as delegate (at the anniversary meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society). Mrs. Southwick also has a commission. Good letters have been received from (the agents) Pillsbury and Chapman. Richard Hildreth spent the evening, looking "like a shadow," and took sides "with the N.Y. folks...though it was very evident his feelings were rather against fighting for them." Wendell and Anne Phillips will go to England. Anne Weston will not go to the Free Church any more (Amos A. Phelps, minister) because of the inhospitality shown there. The women's convention is going well. "The Grimkes did not go." Anne Weston tells about Lucretia Mott's defiance of the mayor, who asked her not to walk in the street with colored people
