Holograph, signed
Anne Warren Weston's health has not been good on account of the climate. Her cold was increased by attendance at an outdoor party, which she describes. Governor Edward Everett was invited, though not present; but "his little excellency" addressed a meeting concerning Bunker Hill monument. "O my dear George Thompson, it was very little to anybody who had heard you." She describes a meeting at which Burditt Washinton told his story, introduced by "Brother Choules." The "Thacher girl" here is known as "Mrs. Chapman's protege."
A letter from Deborah Weston to Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman follows on pages three and four of the letter. Deborah Weston asks Maria Chapman to send two dollars via Mr. Bent. She comments on a Quaker meeting, on Burditt Washington's story, and the preaching of "Brother Choules." Deborah thinks that Anne Warren Weston will never get well in this air, and is worried about her at the "party in the woods." She asks Maria about her interest in "the Thacher girl," who is now being cared for in the New Bedford poor house
Enclosed, is a receipt dated August 5, 1836, Boston, "Received of H.G. [Henry Grafton] Chapman, $15.83 cts. in full payment of Mr. [Samuel J.] May's bill." The receipt is signed by Lucy Parker
