Holograph, signed with initials.
In this letter, Lucia Weston wrote: "Wendell made his 'maiden speech' it was I heard a very fine one." Henry B. Stanton and Wendell Phillips planned that the latter should speak before the legislature. The box from the ladies of Darlington, England, arrived with a letter from George Thompson. Lucia relates that "about one thousand mobbers" were gathered when Gershaw(?) lectured to the Ladies [Anti-Slavery Society?], and "every lady that came out was hissed." Mrs. [Thankful Hussey] Southwick "was on the spot and addressed several of the men." Lucia and Caroline Weston went to the Smith school house to help teach in the colored school.
