"Holograph, signed. Edmund Quincy describes an incident when he was a little boy at school as a preamble to his request that Maria Weston Chapman and her family write letters containing accumulated daily entries. Edmund Quincy says: \"I literally regret nothing else that I have left behind me in Boston but the true society which I have enjoyed at your house---the society of educated accomplished minds informed & elevated by devotion to great & sublime principles.\" He contrasts this with what he has found elsewhere and reflects on the vicious temper of the world and men's ignorance of \"the revolution in the midst of which they live.\" Edmund Quincy has examined a beautiful country estate belonging to Mr. Penniman, which he hopes Maria W. Chapman will consider purchasing."
