notes
"Holograph, signed. Anne Warren Weston tells about callers and family news. Hervey Weston, Henry G. Chapman, Mary Gray Chapman, and Caroline Weston are going to the quarterly [anti-slavery] meeting in Worcester. \"Probably the battle is to be fought out there,\" as Charles Fitch, John Gulliver, etc. have gone there. The writer does not know \"a single man to be depended upon save Amos [A. Phelps].\" Mary S. Parker \"is feeling bad because Maria [Weston Chapman] wants to denounce the Free Church by name in our Report.\" John Greenleaf Whittier \"appears to be somewhat slying off, that is, he dodges responsibilities.\" Theodore D. Weld has written Angelina E. Grimke nine pages urging her not to bring up the woman question (at Worcester). Melania (Ammidon) has a little daughter. Anne gives news of other friends, and tells that there is one new scholar in their school. Anne is suffering from inflammation on her lungs. She inquires about a bill sent by Isaac Knapp. Inserted at the bottom of the second page is the line: \"Twaddling way! Present the above & done!\" Signed M.W.C. (Mrs. Maria W. Chapman). This is followed on the next page by a bill in the name of Isaac Knapp. Beneath this, Anne Warren Weston explains: \"Maria wrote while I was absent.\""
