Letter from Anne Warren Weston to Deborah Weston, January 6, 1837

Item Information

Language:
English
Notes:
Holograph, signed.
Anne Warren Weston went to West Street in a closed carriage, and had a trying time with her bad cough. She urges Deborah to send the "New England petition." She expresses her lack of respect for Abby Osgood's weakness in signing the petition and then scratching out her name. She will send "The Slave" tomorrow; she wonders what Richard Hildreth is doing, since, when asked how he was getting his living, "he would not tell." She believes that "Archy is having a good sale." ["Archy" refers to "The Slave, or Memoirs of Archy Moore," by Richard Hildreth.] She tells of an incident about Henry B. Stanton's receipt of a gift from the Fair.
