Anne Warren Weston refers to news read in the Atlas: "all parties seem willing to sell their very souls for 10 votes. I think [Joseph Tinker] Buckingham's meanness exceeds anything I ever met with." Discusses domestic matters. Unable to get free labor (cotton?), Anne will be "obliged to use slave labour, dripping...with blood." Comments on the election. Hopes that Hastings will get the Norfolk votes. Believe A.H. [Alexander Hill] Everett "to be without any conscience in the matter, or much sense either." Hopes "the Temperance folks may prevail in Boston," and thinks no abolitionist should vote for [Richard] Fletcher.
