Caroline Weston describes her journey to Hingham and her delightful visit there. She received more than twenty calls the day after her arrival. She describes the people she saw, the houses where she dined and took tea, and the calls she made: "...I am begun [sic] to entertain an idea that I was really something very extraordinary." Mr. Barton insisted that she call on his invalid wife. Returning to Boston, she found all well, except Maria Weston Chapman with a toothache. There is no news of Anne Warren Weston. Caroline wrote: "Got Henry [Grafton Chapman] to clinch the house for me." She has another scholar, a Miss Eaton, and "all things look bright." She acquired household equipment. She would like to be taken to Weymouth on Saturday. Quotes from a note that she received from Mrs. Bates: "We think Caroline is undertaking rather too much. A boarding school in Boston never succeeded."
There is cross-writing on the first page.
