Holograph.
Caroline Weston went to visit "Brother Mark's" and developed a high fever there. She met a woman who helped George Thompson escape from a mob in Lowell. Caroline wrote: "I invited their worship by telling all the tough stories I could think of. Nothing sews them up like the horrors..." H.B. Stanton lectured well and brought good news. Caroline went to a meeting in Waltham. She describes what she did on every other day of the week. She mentions a peace meeting at the Ammidons.
The end of the letter is missing.
