In this letter, Edward Morris Davis writes that "the battle is waxing hot with us." The disunion question comes up everywhere among the abolitionists. Until recently Thomas Earle was the only one who upheld the duty of voting for slaveholders under certain conditions. Earle has written an article for the National Anti-Slavery Standard which Edward M. Davis is forwarding to Maria Weston Chapman for comment and a reply to be published in the next two issues of the Standard. He intends to have ten or twelve hundred extra copies struck off for distribution. He believes that Maria W. Chapman will be pleased with the next number of the [Pennsylvania?] Freeman.
