Deborah Weston was surprised to hear how little Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman had to do with a row over her. "In the mob of the 21st she achieved greatness, but now she had greatness thrust upon her." Deborah will come to Boston before going to Weymouth. Anne W. Weston will go there directly, and the Emersons are coming at the same time. Henry Stanton lectured yesterday in the largest church in the place, which was full of people. He looked very sick and may have to give up for a time. Deborah complains that Caroline's letters were not as explicit as they might have been. She hesitates to publish a report about some slaves and Mrs. [Thankful Hussey] Southwick's "prowess."

Written cross-wise, is a postscript by Anne W. Weston about the anti-slavery feeling in New Bedford.
