Amos Farnsworth gives an account of the quarterly (anti-slavery) meeting in Littleton. They had a good supply of speakers. Amos Farnsworth complains about Henry Brewster Stanton, who pledged himself to attend the meeting, but did not come. Farnsworth comments about Stanton: "He has deceived me once too many." He reports "[Oliver?] Johnson defended womens rights fully. Indeed W [James Trask Woodbury?] was very willing to draw off from the battlefield." The Rev. Horace Moulton, a Methodist minister who was for many years an overseer of slaves in Georgia and South Carolina, gave an account of the treatment of the slaves. In reply to Woodbury, Alanson St. Clair admitted that "Garrison had often done very wrong." Amos Farnsworth considers this remark uncalled for. Amos Farnsworth describes the speech given by Mr. Bradford of Westford Academy.
