Caroline Weston gives her impression of Mr. Bent. She is "almost tired to death" with housework. Caroline summarizes the sermon of Mr. Putnam; Caroline and Mr. Grant "thought from the sermon that the Rev. Gentleman's conscience is anything but quiet." Ann [Greene] Chapman reported that letters from Rhode Island told of the turmoil in Troy. When Theodore Weld, denied a place to lecture there, and spoke in West Troy, "they tried to drag him from the pulpit & stone him without mercy." Mr. Weld refused to leave Troy: "...he could not he said till Troy was subdued." Mr. David Lee Child has gone to give legal assistance. Caroline Weston has called on Mrs. Lydia Maria Child at Miss Henrietta Sargent's home. Mrs. Child send much love to Anne Weston and "says she likes you best of us."
