Description
Holograph, signed
Deborah Weston is very eager for news from Weymouth and "is troubled with a feeling that nothing can get on well without me." She describes her stay in New Bedford, her arrival and her visit with Mr. & Mrs. [Nathaniel T.] Bent. She retells the episode of the slaveholder's visit and her conversation with Mr. Bent [see letter from Deborah Weston to Caroline Weston, [17] Sept. 1836, Call No. Ms.A.9.2, v.8, p.44]. Deborah told Mr. Bent "that now he could not deny that he was a thorough pro-slavery man." Deborah writes about Mr. Emerson's school, comparing statistics of pupils at his school with those at the academy. Whenever Deborah feels discontented or melancholy, she recalls her longing to be able to do something "to help us along," and her "desires are now gratified." She gives news of acquaintances. Deborah refused to hear the slaveholder, despite Mr. Bent threatening to turn Deborah out of doors if she did not
