Debora Weston begins the letter with a recital of small details such as the receipt of mail with a bundle containing sugar, that she sent pillows and a bolster to the Garrisons, and her health, etc. Debora writes: "My school still continues pleasant & I hear my scholars like me very much..." She met B.F. Hallett [perhaps Benjamin Franklin Hallett] at the Mansion House. She had a visit from Mr. & Mrs. Angier. She argued with Mr. Choules about the "wine question." Debora has circulated an [anti-slavery] petition.She will send some things to Caroline by a man named Bent. She called on Mrs. Andrew Robeson.
