Description
Holograph, signed.Samuel May, Jr., is replying to Anne Warren Weston's inquiry about Wendell [Phillips]'s health. Information for the last two days has been favorable. The day before yesterday Phillips sat up a short time. Samuel May reports on board business. Samuel Brooke was appointed temporary financial agent. The application of Mrs. Reddon (formerly Miss Sanborn) to be appointed the lecturing agent was declined. Addison Davis has "bolted" from the old anti-slavery organization. Addison Davis told William Bassett, "who is a sort of Free Soil flunky," that he was "now fully committed to the Free Soil movement, and that he was ready to take the stump for them, if it was desired, & would do so for $8 a week." Joshua Leavitt advised the Lynn Free Soil folks to raise a fund to send Addison Davis into Essex County.
