        "Anne Warren Weston relates in detail the events that followed after Mrs. Wendell Phillips [otherwise known as Ann Terry Greene Phillips] received a letter of introduction from Mrs. Reed of London, commending Mrs. Charles Dickens to her. Mary Gray Chapman and Wendell Phillips called on the \"Bozzes.\" Henry & Maria Chapman will call today, and the plan is to give them a party. Anne describes the annual meeting of the Mass. Anti-Slavery Society. She mentions Mrs. Abigail Folsom's \"ranting speech.\" James C. Fuller spoke very well. Colonel Miller (of Vermont) \"is the most violent of 3d party.\" The evening meeting gave great satisfaction, with speeches by Wendell Phillips, E. G. Loring, G. Bradburn, \"and the 3d party completely used up.\" Dr. [Farnsworth?] and Samuel Philbrick have given $100 each, and \"sundry others have done well.\""
