Holograph, signed.
Edmund Quincy "cannot think that the Standard should be given up without a desparate effort to sustain it. People ought to be ashamed of themselves not to take it." He thinks that efforts should be concentrated on getting subscribers for two or three months, and that each lecturer should be attended by someone who would canvass the towns. In case that only one "Disunion paper" could be sustained, the subscribers to the Standard should be handed over to the Liberator and not the Freeman.
