        "Debora Weston is delighted with \"brother [John A.] Collins.\" She asks where \"that villain of a [Henry Brewster] Stanton\" is. She writes about the activities and discussions of the Unitarians in New Bedford. Debora repeats a humorous story about Mr. [John Overton?] Choules at the Federal Street church. Referring to \"the report on colour by Mr. [Levi] Lincoln,\" Debora comments: \"What a fool he is.\" She inquires about Minot and the Dorchester women (petitioners). Alanson St. Clair is lecturing at Fairhaven."
