Deborah Weston comments on family and friends. She called on Elizabeth Moorfield and the Parkers for a visit. She criticizes the behavior of Mary S. Parker. Deborah wrote: "I disliked her more than I ever did before. I am included to think that she begins to feel that she must manage the Soc[iety] herself." Sylvia Ammidon "holds fast her integrity." She relates an incident involving Parker and Edmund Quincy, who "particularly spoke of sinful ministers." Deborah read the first volume of Lord Edward and admired it. [The Lord Edward referred to is: The Life and Death of Lord Edward Fitzgerald, by Thomas Moore.] Deborah comments: "What a pity that Tom Moore is such a reprobate." She blames "those lying tory histories" for certain misconceptions.
