notes
Extract of letter handwritten by unknown person. Whereabouts of original manuscript by Weston unknown.
Anne Warren Weston writes about general news. William Lloyd Garrison and Oliver Johnson came to the Westons' house. Garrison had a talk with Lucy Parker and Miss Ball about "a very mean letter [that] had been received from N. York begging for money from Mass." Anne describes an anti-slavery meeting. Jonas Perkins is mentioned briefly.
