NEW ENGLAND CONVENTION.
LETTER FROM MARY GREW.
Boston, May 20, 1916.
ly Dear Friena-I have attended with
deep interest the sessions Of the New Eng
land Convention and the anniversary meet
ings of the American Peace Society. The
existing war against Mexico is the exciting,
absorbing topic Of thought and conversation
here, and was extensively discussed in these
meetings. The New England Convention,
which concluded its sessions Yesterday, was
indeed a glorious meeting sublime in its
manifestations of moral right, of lofty faith.
and dauntless courage. 1t is always GOOD
to mingie with true friends Of freedom, vino
have faithfully borne the heat and burden of
long years Of trial, and done good service to
the cause {; who, through good and evil re-
port, have nobly borue onward the standard
Of emancipation, neither timidly shrinking,
nor idly lettering by the way :; it is especially
so to stand again, side by side, with those
whose labors we shared in the earliest DAYS
of our enterprise, therefore it could not but be
cheering to me TO be once more in the New
