notes
"Holograph, signed with initials. Anne W. Weston describes a difficult afternoon at school. \"I don't see why Garrison should think Solomon Carpenter's sending for the $1000 more out of taste than his offering it. ...H. C. Wright's letter struck me as mere talk. He cannot pass off separation from the Widow Stickney as a living martyrdom.\" Anne listened from her room to a conversation between Mr. Holmes and the Beanes about the (negro) pew question. Anne received Deborah's letter tonight, and she cried for as long as she wanted to. Anne attended S. Hawley's church on Sunday; and in the afternoon, read Jonathan Edwards on the affections. \"He lays such a stress on works as would astonish the ministers of the present generation.\" [The work by Jonathan Edwards was first published in 1746 under title: A treatise concerning religious affections.]"
