         Weymouth Aug^st 12^th 1842
         My Dear William
                                    It is now
half past two OClock at night
         I have but a short time since
returned from meeting; –
         To night I gave an anti Slavery
lecture, in the Universalist Church
one of the freest Houses in the State
no exclusion of moral Justices from
this house because they are exciting;
Temperance or anti Slavery can get
into this building at any time though it’s
representatives have not taken holy orders, nor
had holy hands imposed upon them,
N^o, let a man, – untitled if he may be –
make an application for the Universalist Meeting
House to as any thing good and he will
not be refused
                  last Evening I lectured in
the north division of the Town, about two
miles and a half from here called “old Spain”
Wednesday Evening I lectured here had a
good House – To morrow evening again I
shall if health & circumstances permit [I shall]
lecture in Old Spain, and perhaps again in
Old Spain on Sunday Evening
                  I shall want some of those Anti Slavery
notices, Bills;         Will you please to put me

(Page 2)

up one dozen of them and send them by the
bearer of these lines M^r Elias N Richard’s
Thus I shall get them –
         also W^mC will you go to N^o 23 in Brattle
the Graham and inquire after M^r Semborne
if my coat and picture had yet been heard
of      You will oblige me very much
         I shall probably be in the city by
Sunday afternoon, though this is uncertain I
may possibly have three meeting in the Town
Old Spain if so I shant be in until to
[cut for bit] Monday – distribute my love to
inquirers for the name of your course friend
                  Jeremiah Burke Sanderson
