notes
Holograph.
Several words and sentences have been crossed out, perhaps indicating that this letter was a rough draft or copy.
Anne Warren Weston discussed the addressee [George Thompson?] with William Lloyd Garrison. "I saw plainly enough that Garrison was hurt and wounded by the course you had taken with regard to the Chronotype." Apparently Thompson had written out one of his speeches for the Chronotype, a newspaper edited by Elizur Wright. It was hostile to the Garrisonians. Anne and her friends felt very much slighted. She criticizes Elizur Wright and the Chronotype severely.
There is also an envelope with the same Call No. Ms.A.9.2 v.25, p.37. The envelope is addressed to: "Miss Debora Weston."
