In this letter, Lucia Weston gives news. She asks Deborah, "What do you think of your timid brother [the Rev. Jonas] Perkins?" Lucia comments that Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman's report was accepted by the board, and "it is a most excellent thing." She tells in detail about a little ruse by which Mrs. Chapman made Mr. [William B. O.?] Peabody read a notice [of a meeting?] in his church.
