Deborah Weston was distressed to hear that Sarah Anne was sick. Deborah would like to hear news of the Lynn fair. She writes: "The fair has been wonderfully prospered here." The anti-slavery periodical, the Liberty Bell, "sold finely." She tells about a Mr. Morrison who is an abolitionist, but who is engaged in converting "the profligate part of the community--I mean the lower classes."
