Title
[Letter to] Dear Maria [manuscript]
Description
Holograph, signed with initials
Deborah Weston is sending a package of "newspaper pieces." She tells about the activities of George Thompson. She says about George Thompson: "The sin of ignorance is all that will ever be laid to his charge, is he ever goes wrong (& he very seldom goes wrong) ... He gets on wonderfully, but he knows how little information he has." Thompson wishes to be guided by the Mass. society, which is guided by Garrison, "who is timid and fearful to a degree." Thompson has spoken 53 times since he has been in the country. Anne [Warren Weston] will write about the Dorchester meeting for Thompson "when most of the gentility came out." Deborah Weston asserts the eloquence of Thompson's speech and tells of its effect on Wendell Phillips. Deborah spent the night at Henrietta [Sargent's]. Thompson was "talking and acting his best." Henrietta is "thanking God she is not like these silly Bostonians & knows a great man when she sees him." Deborah will see Thompson in London
