Holograph
Caroline Weston complains of colds and bad weather. She entreats Maria and Henry Chapman to be careful. She reports on the progress of the Maria and Henry's children, from baby Gertrude at Chauncy Place to Lizzy [Elizabeth B. Chapman] at school. Little Ann is the most gifted, "a child of sound judgment--tact--& originality." Garrison is to lecture in Weymouth. Caroline's sisters Anne, Lucia, and Emma attended the Ministry Convention in Boston. Amos A. Phelps, Charles C. Torrey, Nathanial Colver, Alanson St. Clair, and Luther Lee used up three fourths of the time "in trying by all ways unfair & malicious to fasten the imputation of infidelity upon the convention." She gives examples of vulgar and insulting remarks. Henry C. Wright, Dr. [Sylvanus?] Brown, and Amos Bronson Alcott opposed them, and William Bassett "almost killed them" by proving that the Quakers in England recognized other authorities than the Bible. Caroline writes that "Grandma Hunt" died
