In this letter, Deborah Weston said: "I have devoted the energies of my powerful mind to the arduous task of teaching little Henry [Chapman] to read." She reports on the donations from Nantucket for the newspaper, the [National Anti-Slavery] Standard. She comments: "Have no fear for the Standard." She relays the opinion of an acquaintance "who entreated that you would not come back too soon." Captain Howard thought it would be perfectly safe for Henry and Maria Chapman to stay in Haiti through June.
