Description

Holograph.Three-fourths of pages three and fourth have been cut off, so that the end of the letter is missing.Deborah Weston has not started her journal yet. Tells of packing merchandise for the Millville anti-slavery fair. Mary G. Chapman "wanted to take me to see the Merry Wives of Windsor which Fanny [Kemble] was to read Sat. morning." S.H. Gay looked "very unhappy and miserable." She found S. May, Jr., correcting a report. William Lloyd Garrison told Deborah a very amusing account of a meeting of the Town & Country Club. Amos Bronson Alcott sold tickets for it and Ralph W. Emerson spoke. Garrison attacked Thomas Carlyle in a speech, which caused quite a controversy.
