notes
"Holograph, signed. James Mott answers Anne Warren Weston's letter to Charles Calistus Burleigh, in which an essay is requested for Anne W. Weston's book. Burleigh went to Haiti. Mrs. Lucretia Mott cannot undertake the essay on account of poor health. Many Philadelphians are interested in the struggle going on between the clergy and William Lloyd Garrison. James Mott wants a copy of the annual report of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society. James Mott likes the communication of William Ellery Channing to the public regarding the refusal of the Boston city government to grant the use of \"the Hall [Faneuil Hall], it makes the absurd excuses of the authorities appear ridiculous.\" James Mott regrets the continued indisposition of Angelina Emily Grimke. He doubts that the New England winters would suit the Grimkes. In the postscript on the bottom of page four, Lucretia Mott (the wife of James Mott) invites Anne Warren Weston and Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman to stay with them at the time of the convention in the spring."
