Anne W. Weston reflects on her being thirty years old today. John A. Collins denied that he was engaged to Miss Messenger. Anne describes the manners of Charles L. Remond and Miss Sarah P. Remond. Anne was ill for a short time. A letter from E. Weston tells of Henry G. Chapman's condition. Anne said: "I do not feel as though he would see the cold weather." Samuel J. May is thinking of leaving his parish and is worried by the negro pew situation. Mr. Stowell, the Orthodox minister in Townsend, is "one of the most bitter pro-slavery men about," and had great difficulty with S. Hawley. Anne regrets the death of Gov. Vesey. "Poor Lucretia will feel sorry." Anne copies the names of the committee of the new organization Fair from the Emancipator.
On page four of the letter, there is a separate note from Amos Farnsworth to Deborah Weston.
