"Holograph, signed. Anne Warren Weston recounts the dissensions and affairs of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society. Comments on sermons by [John Overton?] Choules and Dr. Charles T.C. Follen. Describes a social evening at Henrietta Sargent's, comments on Epes [Sargent] and Dr. Henry [Bowditch]. Anne refers to the \"scandalous report\" of the Judiciary Committee of the Legislature in respect to the petition of the women of Lynn and Dorchester. At a meeting of the Boston (i.e. Mass.) Anti-Slavery Society, Wendell Phillips made a \"beautiful\" speech in which he \"denounced Lincoln as only fit for the representative of scurrilous & licentious profligates\" incapable of understanding the hearts of the women of Lynn. The Legislature are ready to lynch Wendell Phillips. Anne attended a meeting of a committee of the Legislature appointed to hear Sarah Baker, who was accused of forging names on the Dorchester women's petition. Wendell Phillips acted as her counsel, and [George?] Bradburn as a witness; the abolitionists made common cause with her. Anne gives news of family and kin in Weymouth."
