Notes:
Holograph, signed.
A date for the next board meeting was decided upon. Samuel May, Jr., suggests that if Caroline Weston cannot be present at the meeting, she should send a written authority to E[dmund] Quincy to vote for her. Samuel May advised Edmund Quincy to write to Maria Weston Chapman in New York "for her proxy." Samuel May lists the questions to be put before the board. The third question is whether William Lloyd Garrison should be asked to give an address at the Annual Meeting. William Lloyd Garrison seemed inclined to do so, and it seems right that he should as "the large majority, doubtless, will then wish to hear his views, at close of his anti-slavery life proper, it seems highly expedient he should give them."
In the postscript, Samuel May states: "This is a day of the severest cold for 2 years here. Mercury now 10 P.M. 18 below zero."
