"Holograph, signed with initials. Anne W. Weston was very sick, but refused to call a doctor. Dr. Amos Farnsworth drove Lucia Weston from town to Groton expecting Anne to follow in a few days; she must therefore try to get well. Anne gives an account of the family at Summer Street, and of the departure of Warren Weston. James S. Gibbons arrived as a visitor on Sunday morning. Edmund Quincy came after breakfast, and they talked all morning. Further callers and guests afforded \"quite a brilliant time.\" Members of the family went to see \"the floral procession of Mr. Barnard's children.\" The Catholic Temperance procession was beautiful. Tonight, Anne will remain at home, as she does not care for \"standing gaping on the Common...Nothing but being with a brother ever made it tolerable to me, so wafting a few sighs to Demerara, I rejoice that I have no temptation to go.\" [The reference to Demerara is presumably to Richard Hildreth, who resided in Georgetown, Demerara, British Guiana (now known as Guyana).]"
