Holograph, signed with initials.
Anne Warren Weston met Minot Thomas, who "appeared to be quite an Abolitionist & as he is a great Democrat too; of course we joined battle on 3d party." Arriving in town, Anne found that Maria Weston Chapman had kept a log during her absence, allowing Anne to report on the principal events in this letter. Mr. John Pierpont is writing a piece called "Nebuchadnezzar" for the Liberty Bell. ["Nebuchadnezzar" was a poem printed on pp. 58-73 of the Liberty Bell, in the issue for 1844.] Charles Sumner has sent Maria W. Chapman a very good collection of American autographs. There should be a good meeting at Faneuil Hall tonight, with Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Dr. (William Henry?) Channing, and Amasa Walker speaking.
This letter is written on the verso and a blank page of the printed circular, Address of the Committee of the Tenth Massachusetts Anti-Slavery fair.
