Edmund Quincy will be in town today "to hear the news & the letters." He is "hungry for news." He asks what Caroline Weston thinks of Adin Ballou's plan. He thinks it will succeed better than George Ripley's "on account of the character of the men as working men." [The Rev. Adin Ballou planned a fraternal community in Mendon, Mass., afterwards known as Hopedale Community. George Ripley's community was Brook Farm.]
