"Holograph, signed. Wendell Phillips proposes that, in writing to Ralph Waldo Emerson for a contribution to the Liberty Bell, Anne Warren Weston might suggest his giving her an extract from his anti-slavery speech---\"say his analysis of Webster, which was very acute & finely wrought, or his indignant denunciation of the 'no hidden law' heresy.\" Wendell Phillips mentions this because the \"reluctance to write something new, or difficulty of inventing a subject are the very frequent causes of the 'no' you receive.\" In the postscript, Wendell Phillips suggests numerous names [of possible contributors?], among them \"a poetess, Miss Townsend I think, ...she wrote 'Milton on his Blindness' which some papers mistook for a newly discovered poem of J. Milton's.\" Includes an envelope with the delivery address: Miss A. W. Weston, Weymouth, Mass. It is postmarked Lynn, Mass., Aug. 26."
