Holograph
Deborah Weston was distressed to hear of Anne Warren Weston's illness. Deborah will be at home in about four weeks. She asks how the children are; she feels uneasy about them at times. Deborah asks Anne's opinion on whether or not she should come here (to the school in New Bedford) another quarter and if brother Emerson wants her; the five dollars a week besides her board are a great inducement. She has 25 scholars now. She writes that "the anti-slavery business here is rather dull." She elaborates on the situation, and refers to a battle which will be fought. She considers the New Bedford climate "the vilest in the world." She writes about various acquaintances. Henry Lee "acknowledged a prejudice against Garrison. I best him out of considerable of it & intend to clear him of the rest." William Lloyd Garrison converted brother Wilson, who was president of the first anti-slavery society formed at Lynn. Orange Scott will be in Boston the 25th. Deborah thinks going to riding school will do Anne W. Weston good, and the cost of ten lessons will only "take a weeks earning of my money."
