Description

Holograph, signedEmma Forbes Weston believes that Anne Warren Weston has been given a full account of the meeting in a letter just written by Deborah Weston. Emma Forbes Weston adds to this account that Wendell Phillips heard Henry B. Stanton whisper, pointing to Joshua Leavitt: "It's worth a hundred dollars to us, to have him here." Edmund Quincy has been here and Samuel Philbrick called to see him about the Liberator committee. The slaves' trial comes on Saturday. Only a few penny papers and the Courier said anything about the meeting. The editor of the Courier, [Joseph Tinker] Buckingham, said "everything handsome" about it, regretting that the city authorities were not there "to protect the citizens from these few disturbers." Andrew Robeson has just visited Emma. Emma Weston said: "Miss Fuller has called and Wendell [Phillips] has been here with a peice he is trying to get into the Courier. A written request & direction from James B. Gray to the jailer to the slave 'on my authority till I call for him.'"
