Description

Holograph.Mary Weston cannot bear to think that Deborah Weston is on her way to New Bedford. Mary Weston writes that "the meeting of the friends of the Liberator was glorious." Mary Weston says: "I do believe that abolition here is much diluted, always the case you know where the Lib[erator] is not freely read." She informs Deborah Weston of the death of Mary Ann Davenport. She tells of local affairs. Alanson St. Clair is giving a course of six lectures in Dedham; Mary Weston wonders that the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society "let him go out to get subscribers for the new paper." Mary Weston has been very ill and is still weak and low-spirited. She reports on the illnesses of Phebe Nash Weston and Priscilla Weston. Mary Weston describes an address made by Oliver Johnson in the church in Weymouth and the reaction of Jonas Perkins. She discusses the difficulty in circulating the Liberator and Jonas Perkins's willingness to promote the new paper.
