Holograph, signed.
Ann Warren Weston has improved health. She mentions the crippling illness of Mr. Dodge, "Sarah Ann's father," and the effects of her late illness on Mary S. Parker. She describes a meeting of "our Society," at which Miss [Catherine M.] Sullivan presided. Anne received a letter from Daniel Webster "stating that he would present my petitions the first opportunity & move that they be referred to a select committee." The Society found that it had $100 in the treasury. A motion to give $500 to the Samaritan Asylum was defeated. It was voted that 50 copies of the Liberator be taken from gratuitous distribution, also that enough copies of "Right and Wrong" be bought "to give the whole Society one." She is secretly pleased that Mr. [Charles] Fitch has had a call to Lowell. Because of her improved health, Anne will go to Groton with Dr. Amos Farnsworth, probably to stay a fortnight. Gives more family news and also some news of the Ammidons. Deborah's New Bedford petition has just come.
Anne signs her name with initials AWW.
