Lucretia Ann Cowing writes that "my mother was sorry that I told them I was an abolitionist but it has not made any difference." One of the Governor's slaves has run away. Lucretia A. Cowing wishes she could tell Deborah Weston "some of the horrors of slavery." She longs to see her friends at home, but will stay through the winter. The children (Cowing's students) are very stupid.
