Anne Warren Weston asks for family news and reports on objects made (for the fair). Anne will take the p.o. (post office?) somewhat under her charge. She comments on Garrison's statement in the Liberator that the Sabbath Convention "was for people 'to search the scriptures etc.'" She thinks that "[Amos Bronson] Alcott will be too many for him."
