notes
"Holograph, signed with initials. Anne Warren Weston reports that Mrs. Grace Emerson was full of wrath at Mrs. Lindsey, who was \"astonished at the impudence of the coloured people in going to Gurley's meeting & taking their places anywhere.\" Anne heard Mr. John F. Emerson's report of the church meeting, where Mr. Beane introduced the subject of slavery in a \"very mild quiet speech.\" Beane \"does not love to let me know the truth about the church... The Emersons are all ready for excommunication any day.\" Anne cannot think of a riot without a tremor. She refers to Latimer: \"Is there no way of breaking jail?\" Mr. R called and Mrs. Beane asked whether he was married and then \"fell to surmising\" (the possibility of a romance with Anne). She relates a conversation in which Mrs. Beane said that she liked Deborah more than Anne."
