Anne Warren Weston tells about callers. Mrs. Ordway is interested in the Golden Rule Association, which has split off from the Moral Reform Society. She comments on the behavior of the Misses Ball. Anne reports at intervals on her petitioning in her Boston ward. Caroline Weston liked Mrs. John A. Collins very well. Garrison and Edmund Quincy have started for Hartford, where the latter is to lecture. For the Lynn Fair, Anne has written a "Sonnet in Memory of Elizabeth Heyrick," which she has copied in this letter. Anne was told by Mrs. Angelina (Ammidon) Howe that "some of the colored men would not contribute to Julia Williams' school because she was a new organizationist." Mrs. Lydia Maria Child has been writing encouragaing letters to friends, "assuring them of victory." Silas Hawley may be the Union minister at Groton, which will be as helpful "as though he were an agent." Richard Hildreth said that Elizur Wright was going to leave, "that they could not pay $1500."
