Deborah describes a baptism at Mr. Ides' church. She talks about a notice of an anti-slavery meeting. She heard Henry B. Stanton's lecture. Mrs. A. Bronson Alcott reported on the popular reaction to the notice of the meeting. Rev. Samuel J. May spoke of abolition at a church. He told the story of Mary Smith, a black woman, who was shipwrecked and later returned to Massachusetts by the state of North Carolina. Theodore S. Wright and Henry B. Stanton also spoke. Deborah criticizes Stanton's speech. Stanton praised "Right and Wrong [in Boston]." Zebedee Cook and Henry Rice berated the sexton of Dr. Channing's church for issuing a notice of an anti-slavery meeting. She tells about a hymnal ordered from Knopf, news of the Ammidon family, Rev.
