Caroline Weston told Richard Davis Webb that Anne Warren Weston wrote him a letter; this letter has not been received by Richard D. Webb. Some of "our faction" are sending an assortment of stationary directly from London. The Dublin box will be much smaller than usual. Webb writes: "I was so fortunate in meeting your sisters as to think them beyond whatever I hoped for---so you may imagine what glory I was in." Webb is "drawing up" a few pages for the Liberty Bell. He mentions that (Edmund) Quincy never writes to him. Edmund Quincy "does better---for he fills the editorial chair in proper style."
