        "Debora Weston heard a lecture by George Bradburn in the Universalist Meeting House. She reports on the beautiful arrangement, good spirits, and successful sale at the anti-slavery fair. She writes: \"All the fashionable had been in and bought extensively.\" Debora has suffered from a painful face-ache, but left the seclusion of her chamber when John A. Collins called. She deprecates the attitude of the Episcopal minister who would not read a notice [of the anti-slavery fair?] on Sunday."
