Anne Warren Weston plans and prepares for a trip to Portland, Maine, with the Farnsworth family. She thinks it would be better than "to be donning my best bib and tucker to sit down at meat with the Hartford gentry." The Hartford trip was an alternative idea. Tells about a pair of horses bought in the White Mountains by Dr. Farnsworth. Lists the articles made by the sewing meetings for the Anti-Slavery fair. "I think Garrison has cut up Goodell tolerably well." Praises the letters of N. P. Rogers to LaRoy Sunderland. The Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society New Organizationists call Anne "The Great Western."
