Lucia Weston hopes that Deborah Weston will come to a meeting on the 25th. She mentions Orange Scott, Ellis Gray Loring, Henry B. Stanton, and Amos Dresser as prospective speakers. Lucia continues writing this letter on Thursday, [January] 26 through Tuesday, [January 31]. Lucia tells about the pledges for money made at a meeting. Lucia is president of the ladies' society and she lists the members of her family who hold office in various abolitionist organizations. She describes Amos Dresser. She went to a meeting called to raise money for the Liberator newspaper. She ends the letter with family news.

On the first page of the stationary is an engraving by P. Reason, entitled "A Colored Young Man of the City of New York," 1835. Lucia Weston explains: "Though you are not an oppressor, I write to you on this paper because I had no other in the house."
