Edmund Quincy wishes to be kept informed of current news by his West Street correspondents. He contrasts the grime of New York with the springtime bloom of Dedham. He praises Mrs. James Robbins. Quincy tells in detail about his plans for the new Sunday meetings, separate from the churches in his neighborhood, and the response he met with at the first meetings. After some experimenting, the final decision was in favor of informal discussion meetings. Quincy describes his farming. He sends a message to Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman that he is obliged to her for his speech in the last Liberator, which he considers as much hers as his own. Quincy said: "For my impression was that it was a spooney sort of an affair, but if her report is correct it is one of the best speeches I ever made."
