Holograph, signed.
Anne Warren Weston tells about the illness of Richard Hildreth: "I believe all our friends are fated to die for want of care." At the board meeting held this afternoon an expose written by Garrison was adopted. Those who refused to sign were: Amos A. Phelps, Shipley, Joseph H. Eayrs, and Amasa Walker. Sarah Pugh wrote, enclosing $10 for the N.R. [Non-Resistance] Society, and inviting all to Philadelphia. Mary S. Parker is hindering a (Boston Female Anti-Slavery) Society meeting which Maria Weston Chapman is trying to get up. The Progress Club has had scruples about inviting Wendell Phillips to join because his orthodoxy might be offended. Anne gives her impression of Geo. Davis of Greenfield, "a tolerably good abolitionist..." Anne is sending Deborah the letters of the Grimkes and her reply to them. "Maria [Weston Chapman] nearly uttered a short, scorching blast."
