Description

Holograph, signed.Edmund Quincy forwards a letter from Sydney Howard Gay, dealing with the question of an advertisement. Edmund Quincy asks Maria Weston Chapman when she and her sisters can attend a board meeting to consider, among other things, "whether anything, & if anything, what should be done to patch up the Howitt bungle?" This should be settled at the first board meeting "after the article appeared." Edmund Quincy received the note from Maria W. Chapman and Anne W. Weston "about the Unitarians." However, lacking the necessary documents needed for an article on this subject, Edmund Quincy "took the Wilmot Proviso as leader."The "Howitt bungle" is a reference to an unkind article about Mary Botham Howitt that was printed in the National Anti-Slavery Standard. See Mary Botham Howitt's letter, Sept. 2, 1847, Call No. Ms.A.9.2 v.23, p.41.
