Description
Holograph, signed.In this letter, Lucia Weston reports on the movements of Anne Warren Weston, who visited Taunton, finding "but few true folks there," and then went to Lynn, where she spoke to a mixed assembly. Maria Weston Chapman wrote the piece signed "an old country abolitionist, as well as the account of the two meetings of the Boston Female [Anti-Slavery Society]. "Mary Parker says that there are at least 5 lies in it, but she does not consider it worthy of an answer." Lucia praises little Ann [Anne Greene Chapman Dicey]. She says that Lissy Chapman [Elizabeth Bates Chapman Laugel] does well some times, other times "she acts like fury." Mr. [Philo C.] Pettibone, who was just made an agent and is laboring in the western part of the state, sent in $80 this morning. Caroline Weston has moved her school.On page three of the manuscript, there is a unsigned postscript.
