Description

Holograph, signed with initials.Anne W. Weston, along with Lucia Weston, went up to their knees in mud to the Worcester Rail Road to see Charles Dickens off, but as he was not to go till two hours later, "poor Lucia abandoned all hope of seeing him." Anne has written one of her articles for the Non-Resistant on the subject of capital punishment. Henry G. Chapman's cough troubled him so much that he and Maria W. Chapman are preparing to sail for Gonives [sic; perhaps she is referring to Gonaives, Haiti.] and from there to Port-au-Prince. Anne attended the wedding of Sylvia Ammidon and describes the affair. In a conversation, Anne learned that the minister who she heard preach was not Jacob Knapp, but was another minister. Wendell Phillips, Charles L. Remond, and Ellis Gray Loring appeared before the House "about the Rail Road. The Hall was full & all did exceedingly well." John C. Gore has given half a township in land to the Massachusetts (Anti-Slavery) Society.See Call No. Ms.A.9.2 v.17, p.24 for the letter in which Anne W. Weston describes hearing the minister who she mistakenly believed was Jacob Knapp.
