"Holograph. Caroline Weston describes a board meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society, at which the National Anti-Slavery Standard was discussed. Caroline writes that \"Garrison was violently in favour of initials,\" while James R. Lowell and Edmund Quincy were against them. Caroline remarks on William Lloyd Garrison's attitude toward S.H. Gay in regard to the management of the paper. Edmund Quincy was appointed to act for the executive committee for three months. Garrison's proposal to go to England met with lukewarm response. Finally a resolution was passed asking Garrison to represent the American Society abroad. Edmund Lowell \"meant in the future to publish all his poetry first in the Standard.\" He told about Samuel Longfellow's sermon against the Mexican war and the young man from Mississippi who railed against him. The unnamed man from Mississippi said: \"I should like to know what God & the Bible have to do with the Mexican War.\" Prior Foster tried to get $50 out of Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman. The board appointed Joseph C. Hathaway to the post of general agent for New York."
