Anne Warren Weston describes her journey to New York; is also sending Deborah Weston the notes taken there. Anne joined the Southwicks, embarked on the Lexington, and the $1 boat, though warned by Dr. Amos Farnsworth of the risk. The boat was overcrowded, nearly capsized, and was rumored to be unseaworthy. Anne's party went ashore at Newport and embarked on the John W. Richmond. Anne spend the night in frightful seasickness. In New York, the meeting at the Tabernacle was, on the whole, stupid. "I attempted to enlighten [John Greenleaf] Whittier but he was so fearful and timid that I found it a difficult task." Anne was invited by Maria Spring, with whom Abby Kelly was staying. "This was the only family in N.Y. from which I received the slightest civility. I never saw the Tappans." Anne returned on the Narragansett, accompanied by Wendell Phillips. Back in Boston, "my cold was bad & my strength all gone." Tells about callers: David Lee Child came from Northampton; his wife (Lydia Maria Child) is coming to stay in town several months. Richard Hildreth seemed in good spirits. Mrs. Elizabeth Ford told about Mary Ann (Davenport)'s last hours. Wendell and Anne Phillips are to sail in the Willington on June 10th for London. Edmund Quincy has been very ill and will not be able to attend the New England Convention
