Description

Holograph, signed with initials.Deborah Weston is infuriated by the account of the Anthony Burns case, a fugitive slave. She will call a meeting in New Bedford for the purpose of demanding Clifford's resignation. Deborah says that "James Robbins call Edward Everett nothing but 'Uriah Heep' & Wendell has promised to call B. F Hallet[t], B. F. Haynau, & make the name stick." The churches in Weymouth prayed for Anthony Burns. Joe and Fanny Ricketson gave Deborah "considerable news" of New Bedford. John F. Emerson has been given a six months' rest.
