Deborah Weston went to Cambridge, Mass., and saw Mrs. Nathaniel T. Bent, who has become the mother of a fine boy. She discusses plans for coming to Weymouth. She comments on the crisis in the anti-slavery world. Deborah writes: "The peelers are going to make a desperate push to get out [i.e. oust?] the Liberator...[Amos A.] Phelps is as thin as a shark & works like a dog... It is thought an attempt will be made to get out the whole board." The New York Society has appointed Henry B. Stanton as agent for all the New England states, "so I hope Mass. will be rid of him." The proposed "little paper of [Charles T.] Torrey will be brought up," and Deborah expects a great battle to be fought.
