notes
"Holograph. This letter is concerned chiefly with the protest [perhaps against the annexation of Texas] which was to be published in a day or two. Caroline Weston said: \"...tell Garrison not to publish anything that Isaack may write to him,\" as his version would do harm. James Congdon \"begged to place his name on the Protest which he did--thus justifying our predictions.\" Caroline Weston wants help with the circulation of the protest. The changes made in it by John F. Emerson were unimportant. The anti-slavery sewing meeting was well attended. \"Our school flourishes--as yet--but the bitterest of this hatred & malice is in the families of the pupils.\" Caroline begs Mrs. Maria W. Chapman to proceed, as anti-slavery solidarity depends on \"a real & affectionate desire to uphold all who pertain to us.\" She urges \"unexceptionable\" writing in all publications. She regrets that the word \"bamboozle\" was used in the article on Dr. Parkman. Caroline comments, \"...bear with Ellis [Gray Loring?]...I don't think he is bad at heart.\" She tells Maria W. Chapman to \"...take care of your beauty...& have your gown, pelisse & bonnet of the most recherche & becoming description.\" Caroline wants Maria Chapman to tell Wendell and Ann Phillips to say nothing about the authorship of the protest."
