Holograph.

This manuscript may not be a letter. The use of dated entries suggests a journal rather than a letter.

"We got ready for a tea fight & Edward Davis & Mary came." Anne goes to hear Wendell Phillips lecture to the Catholic Aid Society with Davis, who later told of his unhappy experiences with Tom Earle. Abby Kelley is lecturing in Ohio. Judge Jay is in Boston attending a Third Party meeting. Anne reports Jay's views on women as members of anti-slavery societies. Rev. Durfee of Dedham wanted to buy the portrait of Williams, the founder of Williamstown College." At a board meeting, there was a heated discussion of David Lee Child's financial troubles while editor of the National Anti-Slavery Standard. Anne mentions a loan of $100 by Wendell Phillips and F. Jackson to the "Herald of Freedom." Anne gives family news. Lucia Weston is well, again.
