500 $aDeborah Weston's school continued during her absence, "being managed by the older girls, neither Mr. Emerson or Mr. Lee thinking themselves qualified to interfere." There will be 43 scholars at her school in all. Deborah thinks constantly of "poor Mary [Gray] Chapman" in her loneliness and grief. Mr. Emerson confided to Deborah Weston the stories that Mr. Choules told him about the whigs and abolition; Mr. Choules claims to have heard these stories from Daniel Webster. According to these reports, southerners have arranged that when [John Quincy] Adams's first abolition petition is presented, "the admission of Texas into the Union is to be carried at the point of the bayonet, ...& that Mr. Webster is to go electioneering round the country." According to Mr. Choules, the New Bedford aristocracy have been converted by Henry B. Stanton's remarks in the State House. Deborah comments that "Mr. [Nathaniel] Bent even is admiring Stanton." Deborah wishes that Caroline Weston would ask Garrison about Dr. Ely, who is expected to hold a revival, and whom Mr. Emerson has talked of as a slaveholder. Mr. Emerson "longs to" have Wendell Phillips deliver an anti-slavery lecture here.
