"Holograph, signed with initials. Anne Warren Weston thanks Deborah, Emma, and Lucia Weston for sending her a bundle. Anne read aloud \"about the mob\" to the Beanes and to Mrs. Grace Emerson, reading more to the latter, \"for I had to furbish it up in reading to the Beanes.\" James Canning Fuller had an anti-slavery meeting here tonight. Anne asks: \"Pray how would [William Francis?] Channing do for Emma?\" Anne is tired from her troubles in her school. Mr. Hitchcock, \"a poor pro-slavery young man,\" called. She describes the Quaker wedding of Susan Howland. Anne attended a meeting held by R.R. Gurley in the town hall. After Gurley had spoken, Charles Lenox Remond \"arose & used him up.\" She describes the reactions of various people. Anne asks for a reply letter from Deborah, as she cannot get over a Sunday without knowing how it fares with the slave."
