"Holograph, signed with initials. Deborah Weston begins her letter to Caroline Weston by expressing her anger at \"Loring & Co.\" and others responsible for the arrest of Anthony Burns, a fugitive slave. She discusses the case at length. The operator of T Wharf \"gave permission to the slave catchers without consulting owners & was dismissed Friday night ...\" The other wharfs were denied to the slave catchers. Deborah writes: \"The city of Providence has voted not to celebrate the 4th of July, but to toll the bells three times.\" She tells about Edmund Quincy's nephew. Deborah said: \"I wish you could have seen Miss Stevenson keeping guard on the side walk [opposite the courthouse].\" \"Anne was obliged to sit on a sofa in a pro-Slavery umbrella store ... Old Sam May's store was in mourning.\" Also with Call No. Ms.A.9.2 v.28, p.16, is a letter to \"Dear Folks,\" perhaps written by Anne Warren Weston, dated Tuesday, June 5, 1854. There is also an envelope to Mrs. Henry G. Chapman [also known as Maria Weston Chapman], in Paris, France. It is postmarked from Weymouth, Mass., June 6, 1854."
