Dr. Charles T.C. Follen is on the Mass. (Anti-Slavery Society's) board in place of Nathaniel Colver. Follen's article on peace is to appear in the Democratic Review, but with some editorial changes made by O'Sullivan. Lucretia Cowing has written to Caroline Weston that she would be with them in three months. Alanson St. Clair has resigned his agency; it has been said that Ichabod Codding is coming here. Anne refutes a statement in a Human Rights extra about a donation by the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society to the National Society in relation to an address by Henry Brewster Stanton. Little Henry Chapman has had acute distress, and on the advice of two doctors Anne Warren Weston will take him to Weymouth. Caroline Weston learned at the Garrisons that Gerrit Smith is very friendly to non-resistance. "We really feel alarmed lest there should not be a fighting man left to us..." The little piece signed Consistency "in the last paper" was by Orange Scott. Anne Warren Weston heard Charles T. Torrey at the Free Church: "He is a miserable preacher." Edmund Quincy has written a beautiful letter "begging for the N.R. [Non Resistance] cause." Maria Weston Chapman wants to know if it would be desirable for her to go to New Bedford to collect pledges, etc.
