Caroline Weston describes the meeting of the Norfolk County Anti-Slavery Society and the controversy there over the women's rights question. There was a contest between the New and Old Organizations. Caroline refers breifly to her school and gives news of her family.
Written crosswise, there is a long postscript by Anne Warren Weston to Deborah Weston. After receiving the letter, Anne apparently sent it on to Deborah.
