Emma Weston is in London. Edmund Quincy's pamphlet is printed and is in circulation. Richard Davis Webb's own production is much longer; he found it "a great job to tell the truth and say it properly." He remarks on the frailty of Miss Estlin and her "great intellectual energy." The Estlin's have invited Richard D. Webb's daughter Anne, who is ill with an eye trouble, and Mrs. Webb to stay with them, so that the child might be under Mr. Estlin's care. Richard D. Webb has read Antonio in French and finds the story "rather too French" for English taste. He has written to Caroline Weston about possible prospects for the manuscript (of an English translation?). Richard D. Webb regrets that Anne Warren Weston is going abroad. Richard D. Webb's sister and her family are satisfied in Australia. He tells of an old friend, Mary Shackleton in Ohio, who wants to visit Boston.
