Source Description
F. Hinckly writes to Samuel May acknowledging May's letter which proposed holding a meeting in Chester Village on July 5th. Hinckly says that he "just got the refusal of a pleasant & commodious Hall & I have no doubt we might get a good audience." He suggests that Lucy Stone and C.C. Burleigh could speak at the meeting, stating that Stone "was well rec[ei]v[e]d when she was here before & I presume there are many who would hear her again if opportunity presented."
