"Holograph. Caroline Weston called on the Ellis Gray Lorings and told them that everyone thought it best to make no change in the board; Samuel Philbrick was willing to serve as treasurer for the time being. Caroline describes the proceedings at the annual meeting of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. \"[Joel P.] Bishop had acted as ugly as he knew how--never was his Judas like character so obvious before.\" [William?] Adams joined Bishop in signing a minority report \"full of insinuations against the board.\" The meeting declined to print it, and Loring's report was accepted. There was a \"continual & disagreeable sifting of [John A.] Collins--against whom however somewhat contrary to my expectations nothing appeared--Bishop I am now fully persuaded meant to ruin nobody but [William] Chace...\" Caroline comments on the actions and reactions of various participants. \"A resolution of the most stinging kind with regard to the extracts sent by Elizabeth Pease was offered & sustained by Garrison--Quincy--& others.\" Nathanial Colver was present, and \"his features worked diabolically as the resolution was read.\" Mr. [John Murray?] Spear spoke from the gallery against Colver. George Bradburn spoke admirably."
