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: & most wonderful of all: two Miss Holmes signed. Mrs. Holmes was out. Nothing could be so civil and the Miss Holmes were to me. Dr Hawes I suspect had mollified them some & I also suspect, to use Henry[‘s] phrase that they have very bushy tails. I went you see from Mr. Roberts’ to Mr. Holmes’. You must not expect to find this letter very intelligible for I have a very bad headache and one of Mr. Bent’s parishioners is sitting by talking in such a mean way that I can hardly bear to sit and hear him. Friday night I took tea at Aunt Sally’s, who had a pumpkin pie & a pot apple pie made of free sugar on purpose for me. I gave her the pen wiper that Ann Chapman sent, & she in return I suppose has given me a white handkerchief to wear on the neck. They are really quite fond of me & Aunt Sally admires me for being no ‘fraider of going to the great houses petitioning. I got your letters Sunday morning & glad enough was I to hear. What is poor Hildreth about? I wish you would send me his books the first chance. Mr. Bent will give you this & I don’t know whether he will ask you to come down with him or not. I have talked considerable about you coming & I don’t know but he wants to surprise me. I would give almost any thing to see you, but don’t come if it is this night imprudent. Much as I hunger & thirst to see you, I should rather have you stay away, though I have thought so much of it I can hardly bear to give it up. Tell Lucia I shall write to her
