Extract of letter transcribed by unknown person. Whereabouts of original manuscript unknown.
Anne Warren Weston gives an account of what appears to have been a social evening at which the Boston members of the Executive Board of the American Anti-Slavery Society were entertained. Mrs. Lucretia Mott was present. No conclusion was reached in respect to the New York / Boston problem. Edward Davis and Lucretia Mott "were evidently with us in feeling but wished to keep the peace at N.Y." A letter from Thomas Earle has just arrived, which will be sent to Caroline and Deborah together with a letter from James S. Gibbons. "They resign after a certain fashion to us, but it is under such views & circumstances that we shall not accept."
