Evelina A. S. Smith intended to write sooner, but she has been ill since immediately after the fair. The anti-slavery fair raised $214 after expenses, and they sent $200 to the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. The money came from abolitionists, for most of the Hingham people stayed at home. Evelina A. S. Smith tells at length of meetings connected with a kind of New Organization movement, led by Mr. Lincoln, and she quotes the resolutions offered in respect to the clergy, the Sabbath, etc. Increase S. Smith remarked that "the spirit of intolerance was at the bottom of this movement," and its opponents thought it an excuse not to work with the anti-slavery society. Mr. Lincoln said that he would not belong to a society as long as Mr. Smith was president. This dissension may break up the society
