Item Information

Title:
Letter from Lucia Weston, Weymouth, [Massachusetts], to Deborah Weston and Caroline Weston, June 18
Description:
[Lucia Weston] writes to Caroline and Deborah Weston in regards to the whereabouts of the other Weston sisters; Emma is at Brush Hill, Anne goes to Boston tomorrow, and the writer is "very poorly in health." The writer explains that aunt Mary drove "Maria and I to Mrs. James Thayers, where the quarterly meeting of the F.A.S. Society was held, and the sewing meeting connected with it." She sends them all of their letters and 4 that don't belong to them; "Rogers letter, Anne wants you to send back, as soon as possible for she wants to answer it soon and give her views on 'free meetings.' " She asks their opinions on the "Standard" newspaper. She writes a bit of gossip at the end of this letter but it appears to be missing the rest of the letter.
