Holograph, signed with initials.
On page four and the margin of page one of this manuscript, is a letter by Debora Weston to Anne G. Chapman Dicey. Debora gives information and instructions about various family mail. She mentions that a certain letter need not be sent to Warren [Richard Warren Weston] "for it hurts his eyes & I must write a synopsis."
On pages one through three of this manuscript, is a letter from R. Warren Weston to Anne G. Chapman Dicey. Warren assures Anne that he will be glad "to become a trustee with Henry for your property." Warren's only objection is his delicate health. He comments: "A trustee should be young & tough & I am a tender plant." He regrets that Anne's aunt, Mary Chapman, is so ill.
