Caroline Weston discusses the publication of her letters. She didn't mean to write them for posterity. Mrs. Maria W. Chapman has had another letter from Thomas Babington Macaulay. She discusses the Phillips' Irish maid; she has little confidence in her. She refers (seemingly) to the preference for granite rather than brick houses. She says that John A. Collins wants money. She comments on Mrs. Collin's brooches. Caroline thinks Wendell Phillips could have great influence in New Bedford. She likens the anti-slavery cause to a train.
Envelope included.
