Title
[Letter to] Dear Caroline [manuscript]
Publisher
New Bedford, [Mass.]
Description
Holograph, signed
Caroline Weston asks for a parcel of very easy drawings for beginners, and also for the second volume of "Corinne." Deborah is doing well in school (with her teaching), and likes all the girls, with one or two exceptions. Though Deborah is very comfortable, she sees no one from Monday morning till Saturday night "that cares a straw either for religion or literature or morals or anything else that is good." She describes the visit of a slave holder at the Bents, the conversation overheard, and the "battle" Deborah fought with Mr. Bent. Deborah gives news of different acquaintances, and sends a message to Sylvia Ammidon, whose visit to New Bedford is expected. The Emersons (of New Bedford) "became a little aware of how the Abolitionists are viewed during their visit in Boston," and of the effect produced of the Misses Weston and Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman
In the top margin of page one, there is a separate note from Deborah Weston to Lucia Weston
