notes
"Holograph, signed. Anne Warren Weston describes the difficulties of the drive to Duxbury, due to the stubbornness of the horse. Tells about the people she has seen in Duxbury; has viewed Gershom Weston's new house, which \"too much resembles a hotel.\" Anne is troubled by the death of Mrs. Collins; expects (John A.) Collins to marry again by the end of the year. Refers to the new baby girl of Mrs. Maria W. Chapman and thinks \"Gertrude\" a very good name, but suggests various family names, also \"Harriet Martineau,\" and remarks that the name of Weston does not occur in any of the children's names. She asks why Mr. and Mrs. David Lee Child don't write for the National Anti-Slavery Standard. She complains of ill health with great pain or \"terrible languor\" as the main symptoms. Notes the death of Charles Sprague, son of Peleg Sprague."
