[Letter to] Dear Caroline [manuscript]
Publisher
Hazlewood, [New Bedford, Mass.]
Description
Holograph, signed with initials
When Joshua Leavitt lectured in New Bedford, there was some disturbance owing to rowdy boys. Anne W. Weston read Dickens so late that she woke up with a dreadful headache and has not been quite well since. She tells of an evening spent at Mrs. Mary Eddy's. Anne hopes she said something to deflect the abolitionists of New Bedford from voting for Samuel Sewall, the Liberty Party candidate for governor. She describes the beautiful interior of Hazlewood (perhaps the home of Joseph Congdon). J. Congdon was "shocked at the spirit manifested by the Non Resistant Abolitionists about Latimer." Anne does not feel that she can write for the Liberty Bell; she wishes that they might hear something from Lord Morpeth. "Pity we hadn't asked Dickens. We will next year." She inquires about (William Francis?) Channing, and asks: "Has he a tendresse for Emma?"
