Evelina A. S. Smith is eager to see Caroline Weston. Evelina has heard from Edmund Quincy that Caroline Weston left her job in New Bedford. She hopes that Caroline Weston will relocate to Boston to greater advantage. She is glad that "so pleasant an arrangement has been made for Miss Chapman so that her family losses will in part be made up by your sister and her children; ..." According to Edmund Quincy, Mrs. Maria W. Chapman is giving up her house, which will require the discontinuance of the anti-slavery fair, as there will be no other place in the city to store the goods. She remarks on the change in attitude toward the abolition of slavery. Even the Christian Register is "so steeped in Anti-Slavery that I find nothing new in it." Evelina A. S. Smith has lived with pro-slavery people all summer.
