Description

Holograph, signed with initials.Deborah Weston is "labouring very hard" to convert Mr. Hawes, a "young Andoverian," who is "a dreadful peeler, but a very honest one." Deborah writes that the only difficulty is "that he takes to me rather too warmly." She recounts the impression made by Oliver [Johnson]'s addresses in New Bedford. Parting from him, Deborah had "an awful spasm of homesickness. I love Oliver." Deborah thought the Grimke letters "vile beyond description"; she asks permission to show them to Susan Taber. She also wishes Anne Weston to send the Massachusetts Abolitionist containing the attack upon Mr. Holmes. Deborah is on the lookout, trying to find an opening for Anne [to teach] in New Bedford.
