Holograph, signed.

When Deborah Weston arrived, she found that all had gone to Ritchie Hall to hear [George] Thompson preach. Hervey [Weston] said that one of the boys of his class had been drowned when bathing, as he could not swim. Deborah admonishes Lucia and Emma not to run out of doors without putting on their bonnets.

There is a second letter from that has the same Call No. It is an undated letter from Mary Gray Chapman to Deborah Weston. Mary writes that she misses Deborah's "bright & happy face" at the anti-slavery fair. She is sorry to hear that "little Henry is so poorly" and hopes to pick up a trifle for him at the Hall [anti-slavery fair?], which was very well attended yesterday.
