Letter from Edmund Quincy, Dedham, [Massachusetts], to Samuel May, 1869 Jan[uary] 28th
Edmund Quincy writes to Samuel May, responding to his last letter and discussing the prospects for a visit from "G.T." (likely George Thompson). Quincy says that he doubts whether there would be much interest for G.T.'s visit, "excepting among the few old Garrisonians whose memory runs back to his first visit." He says he believes "little can be expected" of Americans to help support G.T. but that "a moderate contribution of my own is all" he can do to help May. He discusses a visit from [Richard Davis] Webb and his daughter to May, mentioning that he has kept "advised of their motions from Frank Garrison". He also describes his time at a reception hosted by "Mrs. Howe ... last evening".
