Richard Hildreth spent the evening, looking "like a shadow," and took sides "with the N.Y. folks...though it was very evident his feelings were rather against fighting for them." Wendell and Anne Phillips will go to England. Anne Weston will not go to the Free Church any more (Amos A. Phelps, minister) because of the inhospitality shown there. The women's convention is going well. "The Grimkes did not go." Anne Weston tells about Lucretia Mott's defiance of the mayor, who asked her not to walk in the street with colored people.
