Book Details
Edition Notes
Holograph, signed.
Emma Forbes Weston went to see the ship, the Britannia, with Warren Weston, but did not like it or the passengers. She fears that children might be trampled by the crowd watching the [Fourth of July] fireworks on the Common. Henry G. Chapman met the painter William Page, who told him that he cured his bleeding lungs completely by the use of Dr. Francis H. Ramadge's tube. Henry uses his tube, but Emma fears he will not perserve. Emma gives news of family, friends, and pets. A Mr. Bancroft, who attended the picnic at Groton, reported "that he saw a Miss Weston there (Anna he called her but it was Lucia) one of the finest girls in the world." Emma asks Deborah if she has read Mme. D'Arblay's Diary, and comments "you are not fit for decent society if you have not."
