Publisher
Dedham, [Mass.]
Description
Holograph
Edmund Quincy writes this letter in a humorous vein: "King James [Sloan Gibbons] sways his lawful scepter unmolested and the baffled conspirators are mourning over the ruin of their hopes.Truly he is a new proof of the wisdom of the Chancellor Oxenstieras saying that it is marvellous how little wisdom it takes to govern the world." Edmund Quincy does not think that James S. Gibbons "had sense enough to show our letters to Mrs. [Lydia Maria] Child who would have understood them." He thinks that at the next annual meeting "the whole Hopper clique" will be removed and Jones put in to stand for the American Society at New York. He commends the progress of the Hundred Conventions. Charles L. Remond has consented to go into the field at $100 per annum. Edmund Quincy quotes an ironic remark about Stephen S. Foster and his "courting expenses." He comments on the resiliency of John A. Collins's health
