Description
Holograph
At a board meeting, there was a good talk which ended in "Abby Kelley's being assuaged as to Child and being convinced it was her duty to attack Liberty Party vi et armis." Henry I. Bowditch called to show a beautiful painting called "Christus Consolator," which is to be made into a transparency for Christmas evening. ["Christus Consolator" was painted by Ary Scheffer in 1836.] Abby Kelley was here, in the dept of despair. "The fact is she is almost carried away by Liberty party." They have used her against her will, and she cannot bear to turn friends into foes. From Monday, Sept. 11 on, the letter is written in Milton. Anne relates what appears to be a visit to the home of Mary Robbins in Brush Hill, Milton. Anne comments on the absence of dividing lines: "old orgs, new orgs, & pro slavery people are all in one Society." Ida Russel, the president of the Society, is entirely Liberty Party. "This is owing to [J.G.] Whittier with whom she is carrying on a desperate flirtation." She has just sent him the book "Nina." [Nina, by Fredrika Bremer, translated by Mary Howitt, was published in a New York edition of 1843.]
