Caroline begins the letter with family news. She says that "Warren concluded a bargain with John H. Pearson to go as supercargo in one of his ships." The Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society is conferring with a delegation from the Essex County Anti-Slavery Society over a partition of their respective fields of activity. She writes about Anne Weston's trip to Northampton and her own trip to New York. The Chapmans took a house on Summer Street. She mentions the death of Emily Phillips.
