notes
"Holograph, signed. Edmund Quincy presumably wrote this letter to Maria Weston Chapman. The end of the letter is missing. Edmund Quincy is sending the letter he \"thought of writing to [J. S.] Gibbons.\" Tell Anne Warren Weston that \"the matter of the Vigilance Committee is well managed.\" Edmund Quincy fears \"that the nailing down of the Vampyres may circulate among aesthetic circles to my disadvantage.\" Tomorrow, Edmund Quincy will get to the report again; they are \"confounded hard things to fix just right.\" He advises Maria Weston Chapman to \"cram the Board a little on the subjects of Liberty Party & New Organization, as I fear Loring and Bowditch if there, may kick a little & try to strike out & insert.\" He remarks that it would be funny if Sewall should attend that board meeting. The cramming must be judicially done and perhaps should be confined to Wendell Phillips, Francis Jackson, S. Philbrick, and possibly John T. HIlton. He will let Maria W. Chapman decide whether to have Lucia or Emma Weston copy [John J.] Norton's and Edmund Quincy's answer to send to New York."
