Extract of Debora Weston's letter: "Mrs. Child got in town. Maria & Caroline went over to see her, she was very witty & full of good stories. David Lee has gone to Newport. Theodore Weld has been lecturing in West Troy, not being able to get a place in Troy. He was stoned in the streets, & only prevented by the efforts of his friends from being dragged out of the pulpit. Henry Stanton is sick in Providence."
