500 $aDeborah Weston writes that they are sending Lizzy [Elizabeth Bates Chapman Laugel] to Mrs. Weston for a visit with the hopes that Mrs. Weston will reform her, "for all her relatives in town pronounce her totally unbearable." Deborah tells of an invitation from Mrs. Tarbell, and the other guests being Mr. & Mrs. Convers Francis, Annie Thaxter, and the Aspinwalls. [Convers Francis (1796-1863) was the brother of Mrs. Lydia Maria Child.] Deborah received a "20 dollar application today" and will then have a total of 23 scholars. Mr. Graupner, the music master, has offered to give Lucia and Emma music lessons; they will accept lessons only for Lucia. She sends her love to aunts Mary, Priscilla, and Phebe; and has a message for aunt Phebe. In the postscript, Deborah requests that Mrs. Weston "send some violets the first chance."
500 $aThere is an unrelated letter with the same Call No. Ms.A.9.2 v.5, p.69. It is an undated letter to Deborah Weston. The signature is practically indecipherable, but it could be Sarah or Sarahann.
