notes: "Holograph, signed. Oversized manuscript. Emma Forbes Weston writes to Deborah Weston about the news of friends. Ann Terry Greene Phillips's jewelry was stolen from Tremont Bank. There has been quite a stir over the [George] Latimer case. \"Channing said that a clever peice had been sent to the Journal to the tune of 'Gaily the troubadour,' every verse ending with 'Boston boys, Boston boys, catch me my slave,' we think it is by Mrs. Follen. Sunday, Maria [Weston Chapman] was shut up in her sanctum all the morning & ground out some capital verses to be sung round the court house during the trial. I will copy them for you.\" [On the second leaf of this letter, is the transcription of those verses by Maria Weston Chapman, entitled \"Song of the People, [sung] during Latimers Trial.\"] J.R. Lowell is sending an elegy on Channing for the Liberty Bell. Related: Song of the People, [sung] during Latimers Trial."
