Lucia Weston says that John A. Collins "has had numberless troubles" on account of the health of his family and a lack of money. John A. Collins, William Lloyd Garrison, Philemon Russell, and Oliver Johnson went to Acton "to save Middlesex County." Lucia obtained from Garrison an account of what occurred there. She tells of the excitement caused by the controversy over the women's vote. Orange Scott called for all who favored a new organization to retire to a room below. "They abused the Dr. [Amos Farnsworth] and the women openly."
