Deborah Weston heard that the mayor of Worcester refused the request of Mayor Bigelow of Boston for police protection at the Worcester railroad station of a party of law officers returning a fugitive slave [perhaps Thomas Sims] to his owners. She heard that Sheriff Eveleth would do nothing, but that Marshal Francis Tukey would obey orders of the mayor. She gives news of friends and social events. A man named Chandler died but left Henrietta Sargent nothing. Mrs. Lydia Maria Child "had a fight with Mrs. Silsbee on the Slave law ..." She tells about the visit of Mrs. Parker to the home of H. Sargent.
