"Holograph, signed. Richard Davis Webb reminisces at length about his boyhood friends in the village of Balliton, which was \"a little Quaker Athens.\" Mary Schackleton is a survivor of the family that owned the school that Richard D. Webb attended in Balliton. Although Schackleton is an invalid, she is nevertheless planning to leave her congenial home surroundings and follow her niece's family to Ohio. When she passes through Boston, Richard D. Webb asks Anne Warren Weston to see her or to arrange for someone to do so. Richard D. Webb thinks that Anne W. Weston would enjoy her \"picturesque, racy conversation.\" Richard D. Webb describes Joseph Barker and his happy family who are \"knit together by the isolation which J.B.'s heresy has created around them.\" Webb comments on the attitude of \"Fillmore, Webster, the Boston Corporation & the American aristocracy.\""
