Holograph, signed.

Deborah Weston sends Anne Warren Weston a copy of the [Boston] Courier containing an account of "our meeting" [of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society]. Many in Mr. [John] Pierpon't congregation "almost went out" when the notice of the meeting was read. Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman went to Mrs. [Abby May?] Alcott's "to meet Mrs. Morrison & the animal magnetism man & Miss [Elizabeth Palmer] Peabody...Maria had a little searching talk with Miss Peabody." Deborah Weston heard Bishop Griswold preach a "tolerable good sermon" at St. Paul's. Maria enlightened Mrs. Morrison in regared to the right kind of abolitionism. Deborah writes: "Today the [abolition?] hymn book came out." A letter from Henry Egbert Benson is said to state that a "tremendous mob" was going on in Troy, where [Theodore Dwight] Weld was lecturing. Deborah Weston met Garrison and John Greenleaf Whittier at the Athenaeum. On June 16, Deborah Weston attended a family party at Chauncey Place, and "language fails to describe its stupidity," the worst being that she could not eat any ice cream, not having "eaten any slave labour since you went." Beet root sugar is just as good as white sugar and good as loaf sugar. Deborah wishes that Anne's cold would end. Emma [Weston] is "rather poorly." Hervey [Weston] has been matriculated.
