Deborah Weston writes: "It is well to let Ann[e] Terry [Mrs. Wendell Phillips] talk, but Wendell ought not to let her views influence his judgment for we are all careful what we say to Anne [Warren Weston] of Mary." She argues that Mary [Gray Chapman]'s illness is not merely, as Wendell Phillips has called it, an attack of nerves, "but with it is combined lungs." She comments on the fashion to deny danger. Charles Sumner has sent Deborah "14 papers of seeds from Washinton [sic] directed in his own hands, cabbage, celery, radish, & French seeds most of them I suppose choice."
