Mr. Samuel May, Jr., will probably go to Weymouth this week. Sarah Russell May reminds Deborah Weston and her sister Anne Warren Weston that they promised to visit her. Sarah R. May hopes to arrange matters at home so that she can be with Deborah Weston at the time of the fair, as help will be needed more than ever and "your ranks are so thinned by the wandering spirit which seems to have taken hold of the Abolitionists." She tells about a local sewing circle. She wishes to discuss "that embroidery" with Deborah Weston.
Accompanied by an envelope with the delivery address: Miss Deborah Weston, Weymouth.
