Book Details
Edition Notes
Holograph, signed.
On pages 1-2 of this manuscript, there is a letter by James Mott to Anne Warren Weston. James Mott was relieved of anxiety upon receiving Anne Warren Weston's letter with the news of Maria Weston Chapman's convalescence. James Mott refers to a New England convention in which Abby Kelley [Foster] took a prominent role, and he remarks on the jealous guarding of prerogatives by the gentlemen abolitionists. He briefly mentions the burning of Pennsylvania Hall. Some of "our timid friends" have been upset by the resolution passed by the women's convention regarding the duty of abolitionists to associate with black Americans. The opponents of the resolution want black people to issue a disclaimer in order to forestall further hostile actions. James Mott thinks the opposition is based on prejudice against color.
On page 3 of this manuscript, there is a separate letter by Lucretia Mott to Anne Warren Weston. Lucretia Mott wants to remove the impression that "any of our thorough Anti-Slavery friends are turning back & discouraging the colored people from cooperating with our movements ..." It is only half-way abolitionists, like Dr. [Joseph?] Parrish who are "now quaking with fear." Lucretia Mott has already called the black people together for the purpose of protesting against "such intercourse as that resolution contemplated."
