Boston, [Mass.]
Description
Holograph, signed
The illness of Aunt Mary Weston prevented Caroline Weston from attending the Monthly Concert (of prayer for the slaves), but Ann [Greene Chapman?] and Mary [Gray Chapman?] went with Wendell Phillips; Wendell Phillips made a speech. "They were fully satisfied & consider him a brother beloved." Caroline describes the painful illness of Aunt Mary. Caroline comments: "I however went on & valorously eschewed a doctor, being determined that she should not be bedeviled as she was before." Henry Grafton Chapman called to take Caroline Weston to his house to see the Manchester box which had arrived. Caroline had a call from Richard Hildreth (referred to also as Dick), who will not divulge "how he gets his living." Caroline supposes "there is some whig trumpery going on now." Caroline paints every afternoon. She found teaching the colored people at the Belknap Street School interesting, but "to teach under Nat Southard oh--it was tough." There was an incident of a mob, instigated by the Herald, on the occasion of a ladies' meeting called by Mr. Graham. "Many ladies of our Society were there," and Mrs. Thankful Southwick harangued the mob on the street. Caroline tells about a call, in the interest of charity, by two ladies "of the elite," one of whom had nearly turned Lucia Weston out of the house when she "petitioned."
Also with the same Call No., Ms.A.9.2 v.9, p.15, is a receipt from Isaac Knapp to the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, for $60 for the purchase of 3000 copies of the Liberator. The purchase was approved and signed by Samuel Edmund Sewall, auditor, and dated Feb. 16, 1837
