Anne Warren Weston gives family news. Mr. and Mrs. John A. Collins are in town, preparing to move to Skaneateles, [NY]. Anne has written a censorious letter to Nathaniel P. Rogers because of "that abuse of O'Connell's Grace." She dislikes James Brown Yerrinton's articles: "If Garrison does not take the stuff out of his hand, I shall drop my Liberator. I am ashamed of it. All E.Q. [Edmund Quincy]'s good articles are neutralized." Collins and Maria Weston Chapman laid out the plan for 100 conventions in Massachusetts next winter. Collins heard that A.K. [Abby Kelley?] went to Boston "to pull David Child out of his Editorial Chair." Collins spoke as though "settled in his mind to resign the agency." (Oliver) Johnson just returned from Vermont; his father is dead. Shobal L. Vail Clevenger is "in great distress at Rome, sick with a spine complaint." [The American sculptor, Shobal L. Vail Clevenger, died on the return voyage from Rome in September 1843.] A Mr. De Rosier, a white-faced quadroon, came to tea. The ship, Nestor, is in port. Richard Hildreth has been here all morning. "I do not think I ever saw him in a more bright agreeable state." He will write for the Liberty Bell.
