Lucia Weston says that an article entitled "Right and Wrong" is finished. Lucia went to an anti-slavery meeting and comments on Anne Warren Weston and the Ammidon sisters. She gives news of the family. She called on Mrs. Todd. She speaks of a "battle being fought at Lowell" between the old and new organizations. She mentions a plan to have a bust of William Lloyd Garrison done by Shobal Vail Clevenger. Lucia expects to sell plaster casts of the bust at the next anti-slavery fair. John A. Collins is looking for a house in Boston.
