Description
Holograph, signed
Edmund Quincy is pleased with Caroline Weston's journal: "...your accounts of people & things are very amusing to me who like to know the private history of everybody." He comments on De Quincey's "Suspiria de Profundis," now being published in Blackwood's magazine. Edmund Quincy tells at length of his sister's correspondence with De Quincey's daughters in an attempt to find out some early family history, and of her being informed that Thomas De Quincey was the author of the Confessions, while Edmund De Quincey was a nom de guerre used by the author because, as a young man, he feared the book might impair his prospects. "They [the family of De Quincey] seem to be much pleased at finding they have relatives in America in good standing." Edmund Quincy laments the death of Ingoldsby. Quincy writes: "His name was the Rev. R. Harris Barham, Rector of St. Austin's." He outlines the last legend published. He tells of calls made on certain acquaintances in sorrowful circumstances. Edmund Quincy went to Hingham to see Sydney [Howard Gay] who is recovered, but still weak. Edmund Quincy hopes Caroline Weston admired his printed letter to [Nathaniel Peabody] Rogers; he repeats Oliver Johnson's comment on it. At the first of August meeting, they will have Garrison, Theodore Parker, and expect Captain Jonathan Walker. The procession will move through the streets, singing anti-slavery songs; Mrs. F. [Mrs. Follen] is drilling a band of singers
