notes
Holograph, signed with initials.
Debora Weston sent this letter to Maria Weston Chapman, and Anne, most probably Anne G. Chapman Dicey. Debora discusses letters she received and sent. Debora found Mary [Gray Chapman] "more on her hind leggs than in the morning;" nevertheless, Debora wonders if Mary's mind is not a little affected. Debora met Fanny Garrison: "I fancy Fanny is her mother over again--very amiable." [Fanny is a nickname for Helen Francis Garrison Villard.]
