Holograph, signed.
Deborah Weston describes two meetings. The first meeting was at the Melodeon, where Nathaniel Colver and Elon Galusha spoke. Colver gave "a very spiteful account of the woman question." The audience did not clap, and Deborah "never attended a more stupid meeting." At the meeting to welcome William Lloyd Garrison and Nathaniel P. Rogers, the Marlboro Chapel was well filled. John Telemachus Hilton gave Garrison the right hand of fellowship in the name of the colored people. Garrison's speech was excellent. William C. Nell introduced Rogers who was "louder clapp'd than Garrison" because "he made Garrison's glories to pass before us."
