notes
"Holograph. It is \"quiet as midnight\" in Weymouth. Anne Warren Weston writes about her sisters Lucia and Emma, her mother, and aunts Priscilla and Mary. Wants Deborah to show Henry G. Chapman the sentence from Anne's letter from Philadelphia \"relating to our way of sleeping at Lucretia Mott's.\" Comments on a youth named Lewis Gunn, who \"would not buy his own mother \"out of slavery. Anne thinks that Edward Beecher ought to be admonished \"...I fear he really does not know his duty.\" Discusses Sarah M. Grimke's coming (to Boston). \"I grow more & more sick of our Board when I meditate on them in solitude.\" Writes about family matters. Comments on John Greenleaf Whittier: \"I think Whittier talks like a fool by saying that the N. E. Convention might as well have discussed Animal Magnetism as whether women should join the Convention.\" There is cross-writing on the first page."
