Holograph, signed with initials.
Anne Warren Weston thanks Deborah, Emma, and Lucia Weston for sending her a bundle. Anne read aloud "about the mob" to the Beanes and to Mrs. Grace Emerson, reading more to the latter, "for I had to furbish it up in reading to the Beanes." James Canning Fuller had an anti-slavery meeting here tonight. Anne asks: "Pray how would [William Francis?] Channing do for Emma?" Anne is tired from her troubles in her school. Mr. Hitchcock, "a poor pro-slavery young man," called. She describes the Quaker wedding of Susan Howland. Anne attended a meeting held by R.R. Gurley in the town hall. After Gurley had spoken, Charles Lenox Remond "arose & used him up." She describes the reactions of various people. Anne asks for a reply letter from Deborah, as she cannot get over a Sunday without knowing how it fares with the slave.
