Holograph, signed
The Hingham abolitionists have gone to hear Increase S. Smith deliver an anti-slavery lecture on "Great-plain." Evelina A. S. Smith comments that "a sort of knight-errantry has seized upon our Hingham abolitionists" in their efforts to make converts. The opposing ministers are uniting in prayers for the abolitionists. [Oliver] Stearns, who was invited to make such a prayer, "declined having anything to do with it." Evelina A. S. Smith recalls insults to Mr. Stearns. She quotes Mrs. Lydia Maria Child as saying that "no one can now hear the Declaration of Independence read without thinking of the slave." Hingham and Weymouth are going to join in a celebration August 1. E. G. Loring cannot come, so they are counting on Edmund Quincy. They are trying to establish an anti-slavery paper, since the Hingham Patriot, which is now in new hands, is going to exclude anti-slavery matters
