[Letter to] Dear Caroline [manuscript]
Publisher
Boston, Marlboro Hall. The dirtiest hole in existence
Description
Holograph, signed with initials
Deborah Weston tells of the errands she did around town. She says the Marlboro [Hall] is "the worst place that ever a meeting was held in, full of echoes, dark, dirty & dilapidated." [Frederick?] Douglas[s] is sick, but it is hoped that he may be able to come on the following day. Deborah never heard Wendeall Phillips speak better. "Whetted up" by the sight of a Webster Whig, he "scoffed, he sneered, he ridiculed with the most engaging insolence." She mentions other speakers and some of the audience. She was joined by [George William] Benson. William Henry Channing is being delayed on his voyage and is almost done with sea-sickness. Lucretia Mott gave a speech on free labor. She recounts at length the indignation expressed by Mrs. [Eliza Lee] Follen and Mrs. Maria [Weston] Chapman at the conduct of William M. Rotch. She has heard that William will return as principal of the Academy, and refers to the "lending" of it for "a [black] woman's school." If he should return to New Bedford and take the place, Deborah will think him an "unmitigated scoundrel."
