Description
Holograph, signed
Anne Warren Weston has had the satisfaction of finding Amos Farnsworth as true as ever. "He only felt as if a very false move had been made when the little paper [The Abolitionist?] had been given up." She describes her life in Groton, visits made and received, church attendance, etc. Wendell Phillips arrived from Townsend. "There was a large audience for Groton & Wendell lectured beautifully. Parts of his address were charming; oh I do love Wendell." Anne announces the arrival of "the jug!" [Anne copies Harriet Martineau's description of Maria Weston Chapman from "the jug." "The jug" is evidently a nickname for Harriet Martineau's article "Martyr Age of the United States" in the Westminister Review, December 1838.] Maria's beauty is highly extolled...It is a fine stirring articles only too much adulation of Dr. [William Ellery] Channing. The principal thing I am sorry for is where Garrison is represented as turning pale at the sight of Dr. Channing." She reports the death of Asa Hunt. Anne describes "a long and very delightful call" on Margaret Fuller, who read to her part of a letter from Harriet Martineau, telling about a little coloured girl from New Orleans whom she is going to adopt; also about her novel. Margaret Fuller "said that the publication of Society in America had lowered her [Harriet Martineau] in her mind." Anne tells about a letter received by Dr. Farnsworth from William Lawrence Chaplin, saying that Gerrit Smith has had a letter from Amos A. Phelps "proposing to form a new political party, but that the porposition had met with no favor save from Alvan Stewart."
