Lucia Weston claims that she is writing this letter in order to employ herself rather than having anything to say. Jonathan Phillips has declined to give Maria Weston Chapman anything; he is soon to be married and going to England. Ann and Wendell Phillips expect to sail on the ship with him. John A. Collins and Richard Hildreth called; Hildreth "looks miserably." She recounts Anne Warren Weston's departure for New York. Abby Kelley is going. Lucia Weston has seen a letter from Lydia Maria Child to the Lorings--"she seems to be in distress for a living, and talks about making candy to sell." Lucia Weston quotes from and comments on letters from the Grimkes. Maria Weston Chapman saw at the Follen's house a letter from Fanny [Kemble] Butler in which she gives her observations of slavery in the South and protests against it.
