notes
Holograph, signed with initials.
Debora Weston discusses a "colour petition" and signatures for a women's petition, men's petition, and a "gag" [rule] petition. She mentions New Bedford friends, Isaac Taber, Abby Osgood, Susan Doubleday, and Mrs. John F. Emerson. She tells about a quarrel over the disposition of a bed-quilt, and about getting a bundle of Massachusetts Abolitionists, a newspaper, "containing that answer to your account of the meeting." She suggests returning it to the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society. Elizabeth Doubleday said that Edmund Quincy's family was ashamed of him.
