In the afternoon & wanted us to name some day in the course of the week that you were at home when we could come over there and pass the day; I named one, & if you don’t like that day you need not go, but you will like to go & see the Owens too so perhaps you had better give up one day to Cambridge. In the evening there was a small gathering at Maria’s. Mr & Mrs. Almond, Mr. & Mrs. Loring, Mr. Appleton & Mrs. Child. Mr. A. is a friend of Mrs. C’s. It was rather stupid on the whole. Sat. last, Mr. Bailey called & wanted to know if we should be wiling to take Adeline & Ellen to board for a while. Caroline having staid the night before at Maria’s, had not got home, & of course, I could give no certain answer, but I rather think we shall take them. Mr. Colman called in the course of the morning. He was not quite sure whether he should go on with his Phil[adelph]ia scheme but if he did should want C. I imagine it will come to nothing but the negotiation is still pending. The Roxbury [?] Miss Ringman & Mary [?] called. This last by the way is a part of [?] teacher at a young Ladies’ School in South Boston. I called on the Richardsons, at last, in the afternoon, & by so doing met with a great loss—a call from Susan Tufts. I bore it however with much submission. Just as might Aunt Mary & Caroline went over to Cambridge & passed the Sunday. Yesterday, I went to the Free Church all day yesterday & heard Robert Hall in the morning & an agent of the Education Society in the afternoon. Poor Mr. Fitch lost another child last week. He appeared to be in great trouble, Caroline returned this morning & Aunt Mary & Elizabeth are to come over tomorrow to attend a meeting of our Society that is to take place & Mr. Pierpont has come out boldly and decidedly; he said in his pulpit, a few Sundays ago, that “had I my vote, the sun should not this night set upon a single slave.” We are looking forward to your coming with the greatest desire. We shall expect you by the [car] unless we hear to the contrary. Write or not before you come, just as you see fit; but you must come direct to Boston, for Ma is going to be in town. She is coming Saturday morning.

My love to all the Bents, and Miss Osgood. Ever yours in haste, Anne

Saturday next what a pouring forth we will have.
