Item Information

Title:
Letter from Lydia Ann Gould to Anne Warren Weston, [1839 October 9]
Description:
Lydia Gould writes to Anne Warren Weston in regards to not knowing why Anne is asking who wrote the minutes for the October 9th meeting. She declares "I was present at the meeting and noted as Sec[retary]. I can assure you however that they were written by me and that they are a correct copy of the minutes I took at the meeting." In an entirely different handwriting, the author writes that Dr. Hawes has recently visited Massachusetts and conversed with several leading abolitionists and "in reference to the doings of the N[ew]. E[ngland]. Convention, (admitting women,) they declared they 'could no longer work in such a team'-that if the Mass[achusetts] Society should imitate this example, there must and should be a new organization, &c." The author declares that Dr. Hawes, if he lived in Massachusetts, would be in favor of such a movement.
