Holograph, signed
Anne Warren Weston has read the fourth part of Lockhart's "Scott" and found it the most interesting part that has yet appeared. She gives an account of visits paid and received. She describes the wedding of Eliza Ammidon. Anne wore herself out "petitioning." She gives more news of friends Sylvia Ammidon Owen, Mr. and Mrs. Ebenezer Bailey, etc. The Weymouth Anti-slavery Society is "contriving, if possible ... to pass resolutions against the [Clerical] Appeal." Wendell Phillips is going to New Bedford next week. "He and Ann [Terry Greene] were published yesterday." [The marriage of Wendell Phillips and Ann Terry Greene took place on October 12, 1837.] She discloses confidentially that Garrison has received a letter from Elizur Wright, which it would seem that 'the very elect' have almost denied ... the faith." Maria Weston Chapman has written to Elizur Wright and Theodore Dwight Weld, "giving it to them about right," and also to William Goodell, "approving him," for he alone has borne himself valiantly. She characterizes the attitudes of the National and Massachusetts societies toward the appeal. "Mary [S.] Parker waxes valiant in fight & it is to be hoped that the Female Society will stand to their colours." The Bristol County petition came yesterday with 3000 names. Henry G. Chapman, returning from New York, brought letters for his wife from Theodore D. Weld and Elizur Wright. "Wright's letter was in much the best spirit. I think Weld was a little piqued." She summarizes Weld's letter. She wishes Debora "to make some of the brethren ... go to Worcester. Send Andrew Robeson if you see him." The Grimkes have lectured at Acton in Mr. [James Trask] Woodbury's meeting house
There is a receipt, Boston, Sept. 11, 1837, for Mr. Henry Grafton Chapman, Treasurer, Massachusetts Anti-slavery Society, "Sir Please pay to Amos Lyon -- an order, fifty dollars when in funds, and oblige." Signed, your obedient servant, Isaac Knapp. On verso, the amount was paid on Nov. 27, and signed Amos Lyon
