"Holograph. Anne Warren Weston defends the National Anti-Slavery Standard against charges (not set forth in the letter) of the Glasgow Abolitionists. She tells of the financial results of the Anti-Slavery Bazaar. She says that all of the proceeds will go to the Standard and tells of its influence. The American Anti-Slavery Society includes members from every religious denomination. She refers to the 19th resolution passed at the New England Convention. She doubts that this resolution could be construed as \"casting contempt or reproach on the Scriptures.\" She was doubtful of the propriety of the 16th resolution. \"The Wilmot Proviso has been abandoned by Congress...\" She condemns the Fugitive Slave Law. She says that contributions will be received \"with deeper interest & thankfulness than ever before.\" She describes her own religious views and that she favors Congregationalist doctrines. She tolerates all modes of worship, \"knowing how much education and temperament have to do with these things.\""
