There are two separate letters in this manuscript. On page 3, there is a letter from Caroline Weston to Deborah Weston. Caroline writes that everyone is doing well here. It is excessively hot. She is anxious to learn how Maria is tomorrow. She is expecting Warren Weston and is making arrangements for him. She finds the "reaction rather oppressive." She is sending Lizzy [Elizabeth B. Chapman] under Louisa's care. In the postscript, she writes that she met O. Johnson [Oliver? Johnson] "who says Garrison goes tomorrow & wishes to see M. [Maria W. Chapman?] very much before he leaves."

On pages 1-2 of this manuscript, there is an unsigned and incomplete letter possibly by Deborah Weston to Lucia Weston. Deborah writes that she has been sick with a headache the past three days, while Anne [Weston] was overcome with the heat. She regrets that little Henry is so uproarious and advises keeping him off of "Ma." She hopes that Lucia and Emma will both study this summer, and that Emma, in particular, will say a French lesson to Anne every day. Deborah cannot leave Maria [Weston Chapman]. She will keep a journal for their edification.
