Description

Holograph.Lucia Weston claims that she is writing this letter in order to employ herself rather than having anything to say. Jonathan Phillips has declined to give Maria Weston Chapman anything; he is soon to be married and going to England. Ann and Wendell Phillips expect to sail on the ship with him. John A. Collins and Richard Hildreth called; Hildreth "looks miserably." She recounts Anne Warren Weston's departure for New York. Abby Kelley is going. Lucia Weston has seen a letter from Lydia Maria Child to the Lorings--"she seems to be in distress for a living, and talks about making candy to sell." Lucia Weston quotes from and comments on letters from the Grimkes. Maria Weston Chapman saw at the Follen's house a letter from Fanny [Kemble] Butler in which she gives her observations of slavery in the South and protests against it.
