Anne Knight is glad of the encouraging letters to Elizabeth Pease from Lucretia Mott and others. She comments on the conduct of the "orthodox party." She quotes indirectly a "fulsome address of one of their conclaves, pro-slavery essence! Abolitionists had hurt the cause very much retarded it for years & they could not associate with them!" Anne Knight touches on the woman question and uses a biblical argument in support of a woman's rights and duties.
