Holograph, signed.

Deborah Westons tells Caroline Weston about the activities of the local abolitionists and the circulation of anti-slavery petitions. Deborah writes: "...Isaac Taber says that he heard in New Bedford that there had been a private meeting of the Mass. Anti S. S. [Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society] in which it was decided that the abolitionists should vote for Van Buren." Deborah doesn't believe this report. She writes at length about the anti-slavery meetings. She comments that Henry Lee speaks well. She gives verbatim an argument she had with a youth named Cunningham. She discusses various letters she received and sent out. She went to the temperence meeting in Mr. Choules's church.
