Call Number: Ms.A.9.2 v.9 n.1 Format: Autograph Letter Signed Extent: 4 p., 9 3/4 x 7 3/4 in. Creator: Weston, Deborah, 1814-1889 Date of creation: 1837-01-01 Place of creation: New Bedford, MA Recipient: Weston, Anne Warren, 1812-1890 BPL department: Rare Books Transcription: they were reading the bible and during the first prayer we heard a great pounding in the vestry beneath, afterwards Mr. Emerson said that they were putting up props, for the iron pillars which supported the floor bent considerable out of the perpendicular. In ten minutes more if it had been left to itself we should all have been down together. When the people rose in prayer time the workmen beneath ran out thinking that every thing was coming down. In the afternoon I went petitioning, & was almost blown away. & worst of all I lost my little pearl pin. I felt very bad about it till people began to ask me if I was not sorry that I went petitioning. I assured them that this was a cause in which every thing must be sacrificed & the pin must go with the rest. I went to William Rodman’s & saw Anna who refused in the sweetest manner possible & said that her mother was out, but that she heard her say a day or two before that she thought she should not sign. Most of the people to whom I went that afternoon were out, so saturday I tried it again. Mrs. Grinnell at the stone house signed, as did Mrs. Roberts. The Swains, Mrs. John Forbes folks, refused in the shortest way of any that I have seen. Mrs. Sam Rodman had a little rather not put her name to the paper, but hoped that I would not think that it was from any want of interest in the cause. Made many inquiries and talked of Ben [Luindy]. Mrs. Charles Morgan, who has just been confined, sent down word that she had signed it. Mrs. Jo Rotch & Mrs. Angier who were both engaged refused. Dr. Whittredge’s folks refused
