<mods:note>Holograph, signed.</mods:note>
<mods:note>Anne W. Weston travelled under Ellis G. Loring's care, was met at the wharf by James S. Gimmons, and was welcomed to his house. "I am sorry to say Gibbons defends his conduct in the Disclaimer." [For more about the disclaimer of Garrison's position, see William Lloyd Garrison, perhaps Call No. Ms.A.9.2 v.3, p.53.] Anne saw Mrs. Lydia Maria Child "looking very bright," but is said to be "scared to death" by mob threats. She describes the proceedings at the Anniversary Meeting in the Tabernacle. Of the speakers: "[C.C.] Burleigh did well enough; I never greatly admired him. Wendell [Phillips] was as usual very beautiful & [George] Bradburn made his usual amount of jokes..." At the business meeting, "owing to Abby Kelley's iniquity," Anne was nominated one of the assistant secretaries. She expects the question of the dissolution of the Union to be brought up today. "Garrison in a very foolish manner has staid away," and has written a letter practically asking the Society to judge between him and the Executive Committee. The afternoon was spent discussing the attitude to be taken toward John Quincy Adams. Anne had tea at Charles Mariott's house and was surprised at their magnificence--for Quakers. Mrs. Marriott and her sister seemed "perfect specimens of Quaker self-righteousness." Continuing at Concert Hall at 10 o'clock, Stephen S. Foster is stirring all up, saying that politics are sinful. The dissolution of the Union has been debated. Ellis G. Loring is against it, Henry C. Wright in favor. No prospect of a mob.</mods:note>
<mods:note>On the last page of the letter, there is a separate note from Deborah Weston to Lucia Weston. Deborah is sending Lucia the letter received from Anne W. Weston from New York. Deborah asks: "Why have you not written to me you lazy things..." Deborah may or may not attend the New England Convention. She gives local gossip about Silas Hawley.</mods:note>
