Holograph, signed.
Anne Warren Weston shows Dr. Amos Farnsworth a copy of the famous Phelps letter and Mrs. Maria W. Chapman's answer to it. Comments on the Norfolk County Anti-Slavery Society meeting. She thinks Samuel Philbrick should have the chair from the first. Tells about "sewing meetings," where articles for the Anti-Slavery fair were made. Had an argument with Betsy Capell about making things for both fairs, the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society fair and the Mass. Anti-Slavery Society fair. Can't see what good Rantoul could do by going to see President Van Buren. Anne had a tooth taken out.
