What remains of this letter is two fragments, enclosed in one piece of mylar. Lucia Weston says that Mr. L. read her a letter from Mrs. Lydia Maria Child. At present, Mrs. Child is devoted to "[William?] Page the Painter," who is thought to have consumption. Lucia Weston repeats a witty "dig at Garrison" by Mrs. Child, who derided his predilection for preambles.
Enclosed, is a separate sheet of paper that identifies these letter fragments as: "Extract from a letter of Lucia Weston's, dated Weymouth, July 3rd, 1849."
