Description
Holograph, signed
On pages 1-2 of this manuscript, there is a letter by Edmund Quincy to Caroline Weston. Edmund Quincy writes: "I have written my remarks on E. Wright & think they will do." Edmund Quincy would like Caroline Weston "to get [Oliver] Johnson or somebody to look over the old Am[erican Anti-Slavery] Soc[iety]'s Annual Reports & take off the amounts of the receipts into the treasury from its formation till 1840---about the split took place. I want also to know who the Ex[ecutive] Com[mittee]s were all along---especially the last year or two." He wants to see Elizur Wright's translation of La Fontaine, as Edmund Quincy thinks that a good motto for an article on the Liberty Party may be found in one of the fables. Edmund Quincy will write to the librarian of the Athenaeum for the volume of Fielding that contains "Tom Thumb the Great." He asks if Caroline Weston (or one of her sisters) can go there tomorrow, since "ladies go there continually."
On page 3 of this manuscript, there is a separate letter by Edmund Quincy to Dr. Bass, the librarian at the Boston Athenaeum. Quincy requests they send the volume of Fielding's work that contains the tragedy of Tom Thumb the Great: "it is on the bookcase opposite the door of your little room."
Includes an envelope with the delivery address: Miss Weston, Summer Street. On the verso, there is a black seal embossed with the initials "EQ," representing Edmund Quincy's initials
