Deborah Weston writes that "Mary Chapman has shown a great deal of interest & spunk in this matter--for her--& talked very reasonably & feelingly." [The is perhaps a reference to the case of Thomas Sims, a fugitive slave.] Deborah continues: "My private opinion was that Theodore Parker shrunk in the wetting ... I did not think he stood by Wendell, neither did Ann Terry ..." "We were so far successful that Simms [sic] was carried off in the gray of the morning, with 11 companies under arms in Faneuil Place ..." Deborah praises Sam Sewall, Ellis G. Loring, and Robert Rantoul for the fight they made. She says that the "Committee of Vigilance did as well as they knew how." Austin Bearse thought a ship captain could have been bribed. She praises Wendell Phillips at length. She comments that "I never saw anything equal to Ann Terry's grit, ..." Deborah extols the courage of Samuel May, Jr., and his family. She describes Mrs. Ann Terry Phillips's experiences, which included a visit by Edmund Quincy. Mrs. Grafton died of cancer. She writes that "J. H. Clifford has I suppose lied in public about this writ of replevin ..." Theodore Parker preached to a full audience in Tremont Temple. She describes N. Colver's behavior at an anti-slavery meeting. The mayor and alderman refused Faneuil Hall to Daniel Webster. She thinks Warren Weston's health will improve when the weather gets warmer. Mrs. Fifield lent a book to Deborah. A man named Baker, Warren Weston, Sr., and Deborah Weston had an argument over the location of a barn
Includes an envelope addressed to Miss Weston, Goodhue & Co., New York, N.Y
