Description

Holograph, signed.Anne Warren Weston describes an occasion at which Alanson St. Clair was "cross mortified bitter & I think false." Describes a family visit to Mrs. Sylvia Owen. W.R. Chapman will probably be an agent (of the Mass. Anti-Slavery Society?). Urged by Mary Robbins, Anne Warren Weston "foolishly went to Mr. [John Seely] Stone's church (St. Paul's) on Good Friday; comments on the sermon. Anne repeats a report in the London Chronicle of the marriage of Elizabeth Ann Sturgis Bates to Silvain De Vandermeyer. Tells of a sermon by Mr. Amos A. Phelps, who had "some awful hits at the Non Resistants." Recounts various calls received and conversations. The April 4 entry is written from Cambridge, where Anne was apparently visiting Mrs. Sylvia Owen. Attended Dr. Charles Theodore C. Follen's lecture on pantheism, in which "he managed to give a cut at Slavery." Anne's heart "beats like a hammer with joy at the thought of getting back to Boston." Gives news about Mrs. Maria Mack. Mentions the receipt of a "most vile" letter from Louisville (see Ms.A.9.2 v.11, p.67[?]). Anne thinks "a pretty little Fair in N. [New] Bedford would meet with success...the millionaires would come."
