Holograph, signed with initials
Anne W. Weston had indirect news that Henry G. and Maria W. Chapman arrived at Gonaives, [Haiti]. When coming to Boston, Anne found Mrs. Henry Chapman very ill with a fever. Saw Abby Kelley, who has lectured at North Brookfield and Hingham, and is on her way to Plymouth County, to raise $200; she will then have fulfilled her pledge to raise $1000 for the American Anti-Slavery Society. Anne prophesies a match between Abby Kelley and John Fiske. There has been quite an A.S. [Anti-Slavery] Revival at Hingham. [George] Bradburn made quite a stir there." The two anti-slavery meetings in Boston went off well, with Wendell Phillips and George Bradburn speaking. She describes the disturbance caused by Mrs. Abigail Folsom. She describes the calls made on her by the Islander: "I always had a liking for this brother..." Also, mentions the letter from Dr. Amos Fransworth discussing his lawsuit. John A. Collins has had a pleurisy fever. The disease is prevalent now; Mr. (John) Pierpont and Mr. (Ezra Stiles) Gannet were dangerously ill with it, and "there never was a time when there was so much sudden sickness and death." Anne does not feel that she should accept Deborah's money for going to New York
