"Holograph, signed with initials. Deborah Weston introduces the bearer of the letter, Mrs. Joseph Ricketson, and her husband, and describes them as \"most excellent people...the cream of New Bedford abolition,\" who have shown Deborah great kindness. Deborah remarks on the beauty of the last Liberator. A minister from Newport, named Brooks, said that nobody there dared to mention abolition. Deborah heard from Wendell Phillips that little Ann Chapman is remarkably bright."
