Lucia Weston writes that she saw a notice in a newspaper to the effect that Christopher Robinson sued J. N. Buffum for slander. The city of Lynn is much stirred up by the affair. Robinson has retained Choat & J. B. Rantoul. William Lloyd Garrison gave an interview to Father T. Mathew that has thrown the entire camp into confusion.
