Anne Warren Weston gives an account of the quarterly meeting (of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society). She comments on letters from Mrs. A. B. Ordway to friends in England and elsewhere: "I almost dropped on to the floor when they were read ... they were so incredibly vulgar..." Martha V. Ball moved that the Society hold a fair and resolve to raise $1200. Anne Warren Weston offered the resolution that the Society take 50 copies of the Liberator in the ensuing year. She describes the discussion on this resolution; only five voted against the Liberator. Tells of calls made and received, of hearing Convers Francis lecture "in a tolerable way, and of visiting Mrs. Maria Mack. "...they [the Macks] have 6 girls [pupils?] all quite good ones." Anne was grieved at the sight of Amos A. Phelps. She reports on the illness of Mary Ann Davenport. Sends the book Nicholas Nickleby, by Charles Dickens, and says: "Find time to read it, it is so amusing."
