Mary Weston gives an account of her own health and the health of Priscilla Weston and Phebe Weston. She mentions Wendell Phillips's lecture in Weymouth. Mary Weston heard that William Lloyd Garrison is at Plymouth, where there was difficulty in getting him a place where he could make his speech. Mary Weston writes: "That apostate [Robert Bernard] Hall would not read the notice of his meeting, & has come out a Colonizationist, ..." Mary Weston comments that "there was ever such a nest of vipers" in the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society.
