Caroline Weston tells about going to a peace meeting at the Ammidons. She criticized Mrs. Hale for her belief that war was better than peace. "...the papers keep firing away at us, you know that Maria has been Posted--her name is bandied about in the papers like household words..." Maria & Henry Chapman have received threatening letters. Henry Chapman's father took Mrs. Chapman, Sr., Anne, and young Henry to Weymouth. Caroline received some papers from George Thompson concerning Dr. Cox and Rev. Robert J. Breckinridge. She mentions a continued state of public excitement, although no mob violence took place.
