notes
"Holograph, signed with initials. Deborah Weston tells of articles sold and a plan for the further sale of items in the room of the New Bedford Female Anti-Slavery Society. Deborah says that the \"pressure here in the money market is awful,\" that even \"if the [whale?] oil gets in it won't sell.\" She briefly alludes to a most awful story \"about Nathan Johnson, in respect to the Gibsons.\" She remarks on local politics. The Bristol County Abolition Society have nominated Wendell Phillips for governor."
