Holograph, signed with initials "A.W.W."
Anne Warren Weston gives an account of the 4th of July celebration at Chardon St. She praises the behavior of John Pierpont. Anne Warren Weston and Mrs. Lydia Maria Child called on Henrietta Sargent, who is well again. Edmund Quincy and Mr. Sanborn dined with the Weston family. Mr. Sanborn "expatiated much on the beauty of my aunts...and how he advised the Dr. [Amos Farnsworth] to marry one of them." The writer finds that keeping school fatigues her. Tells about an invitation to her "first Dorchester party," which she was obliged to miss and about parties at Francis Jackson's house and at the Chapmans, which she attended, enumerating the guests. Bradburn is "a Restorationist as to religion, but appears very philosophical in his tendencies." Mrs. Lydia Maria Child spent the night here. Gives family news.
