Anne Warren Weston describes an argument over a proposal to call a meeting of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society. Mrs. Maria W. Chapman wanted to send a letter to Henry Clay for the purpose of considering a meeting. Mentions seeing Amos A. Phelps at church, "looking miserably." Tells of calls made and received, a fancy dress ball to be given by Mrs. Richard Derby, John James Dixwell's costume, and John A. Collins, a newly appointed as an agent of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society.
