Richard Davis Webb and Deborah Webb, his daughter, are visiting the Haydocks in New York. Richard and Deborah Webb called on Phoebe M. Jones and Lydia Mott in Albany, N.Y. William Lloyd Garrison reports on Richard D. Webb social engagements: "Dr. Elizabeth and Emily Blackwell and Abby H. Gibbons have taken tea with him; and this (Sunday) morning he expects to have Horace Greeley at breakfast." Garrison quotes Richard D. Webb's comments on the death of his beloved daughter and believes "her already poor health still further enervated and undermined by the dreadful heat" in India. Garrison discusses briefly John Quincy Adams (Jr.?)'s visit to South Carolina and attacks the Democratic Party.
