Title:
Letter from Angelina Emily Grimké, to Anne Warren Weston, [ca. 17 March 1838]
Description:
Angelina Emily Grimké regrets that she and her sister cannot go to Groton because they are anxious to attend [Sylvester?] Graham's lectures, which will be delivered three times weekly for four weeks. They rejoice "to find a woman presiding at a promiscuous meeting--truly this reform is working along tho' the pastors rage & the people imagine so vain a thing as to stop it." Angelina Grimké refers to a barn in Pepperell which "will be classic ground in 50 years time." Angelina Grimké regrets the lectures were not advertised under both her name and her sister's name. Sarah Moore Grimké may deliver the first one. Angelina Grimké thinks that while Mrs. Lydia Maria Child was willing to write an address to Northern senators and representatives, she should not be given anything else to do, and prefers that a colored person should write "the Address to their people," and suggests S. [Sarah] Douglass.
