500 $aDeborah Weston is waiting to hear about a possible job opening (as a teacher) for Caroline Weston, in the employ of Mr. Samuel Rodman of New Bedford. She is pleased with the success of the Caroline's business affairs and recalls "those 3 pleasant years in Boston which can't be got away from us." The ladies [of Bristol County?] have sent $10 to Boston. She attributes the difficulty in the way of the New Bedford Anti-Slavery Society to the Quakerism of its president, Joseph Congdon. Deborah comments: "Quakerism unfits a man for action. I think, just as transcendentalism does." Deborah's heart warms to "dear [John A.] Collins." She urges Caroline Weston to begin her journal and to read Sir Charles Grandison [by Samuel Richarson] for inspiration.
