Friend Garrison:
In the report of the meeting of the O. C. A. S. S., held on Fast Day, at North Bridgewater, it is said that 'the committee to whom the time and place of holding the annual meeting were referred, made no report, in consequence of the probability of the Massachusetts A. S. Society holding a Mass Convention, as usual, at the grove in Abington.' Now, friend Brigham, undoubtedly, from some cause, felt warranted in making the above statement; but I fear a wrong impression may have been received from it, and consequently, as chairman of that committee, feel it due to myself, and whoever else it may concern, to say, that I have had no conference whatever with the anti-slavery friends in Boston with reference to a Fourth of July meeting, although I think there is a probability of their consenting to hold a mass meeting in Abington, either on the 4th of July or on the 1st of August, yet I would hope but faintly for that which we have no certainty of enjoying, rather than to strongly anticipate a great blessing, and fail of it altogether.
LEWIS FORD.
