"Holograph, signed. The annual meeting of the state Anti-Slavery Society will be held on January 23. There is evidence of a plot, with the clerical abolitionists as the leaders and Charles T. Torrey the most active plotter. There is a plan to elect a different board of managers and to start a new anti-slavery paper as the organ of the Society. William Lloyd Garrison asks Mary Benson to come to the meeting and bring Phoebe (Jackson?) with her. The proceeds of the anti-slavery fair came to $1100, the largest on record. Henry C. Wright has published a tract exposing national organizations as being hostile to the Christian gospel. Garrison discusses the case of Elleanor Eldridge; not ten, of two hundred copies, of her book sold. [Elleanor Eldridge was a property owner who was defrauded of her land. The Memoirs of Elleanor Eldridge was printed in Providence in 1838, and Elleanor's Second Book was printed in 1839.]"
