Notes:
Holograph, signed.
Edmund Quincy has enclosed a letter that he received the day before from William M. Chace. [See Call No. Ms.A.9.2 v.13, p.102 for the letter by William M. Chace to Edmund Quincy, July 16, 1840.] He supposes that it is best "to put [James Caleb] Jackson there," (on the National Anti-Slavery Standard as editor). Edmund Quincy believes that he is under consideration, but considers himself "not competent to conduct a newspaper of any kind & especially a belligerous one as the Standard ..." But even if he was as competent as the angel Gabriel, it is out of the question. He remarks on John A. Collins looking ill and needing a rest.
