notes
"Holograph, signed. Anne Warren Weston remarks on the Misses Ball: \"...to go & invite Mrs. [Lydia Maria] Child & omit us -- Mrs. Child whom they can hardly speak peaceably to.\" Comments on \"Bro. Fairchild\" whose behavior contrasts \"advantageously with that of the Boston ministers generally.\" Refers to the return of Grimkes. Regrets being absent from the meeting [of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society] and wishes Debora to tell her very minutely about the business part. Anne is extremely glad that Mr. [John Quincy?] Adams has \"come forth.\" Praises the letters of Mrs. Maria W. Chapman as giving \"multum in parvo.\" Wishes Debora[h] to tell Mrs. Maria W. Chapman to treat Mary S. Parker \"as well as the rest of them, for really Mary had a bitterer dose than any of the rest of them.\" Anne was not well on arriving in Groton, but was herself again the next morning, and heard [Dudley] Phelps preach on temperance. Anne made calls in Groton and Pepperell. Mr. Robinson (a minister in Peperell?) \"remembers Angelina [E. Grimke] with the utmost bitterness, could almost burn her.\" The Abolitionist cause (in Groton, etc.) \"is in rather a perilous state, all the thoroughgoing Abolitionists having come out Perfectionists.\" Comments on Amos A. Phelps's idea that presenting a report not sanctioned by the Board is unconstitutional."
