500 $aAnne Warren Weston begins with a request for silk ribbons belonging to Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman and a watch for Deborah. She discusses Henry Brewster Stanton and Dr. Amos Farnsworth. Tells about a young abolitionist named Bigelow, who called on Anne several times and finally proposed marriage. Anne declined. She says that Dr. Farnsworth wanted her to stay all winter in Groton teaching his children. "Henry, Maria [Mr. & Mrs. Henry G. Chapman] & I went up to Ellis Gray Loring's 'to have palaver' with Mrs. Gilman." She thought Mrs. Gilman was an exceedingly disagreeable woman. She mentions a Dr. Bradford, who was present at the gathering. She went to a Board meeting. Isaac Knapp told her that Henry E. Benson was very sick. Garrison came and removed some of his furniture. Another slave case has come up. "Maria [Weston Chapman] thinks that probably the second 'Right & Wrong' will make a greater sensation than did the first." Discusses the activities of her abolitionist friends.
