notes
"Holograph, signed with initials. Deborah Weston discusses a \"colour petition\" and signatures for a women's petition, men's petition, and a \"gag\" [rule] petition. She mentions New Bedford friends, Isaac Taber, Abby Osgood, Susan Doubleday, and Mrs. John F. Emerson. She tells about a quarrel over the disposition of a bed-quilt, and about getting a bundle of Massachusetts Abolitionists, a newspaper, \"containing that answer to your account of the meeting.\" She suggests returning it to the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society. Elizabeth Doubleday said that Edmund Quincy's family was ashamed of him."
