Description: Mary K. Janney writes to William Lloyd Garrison to express her dissent towards Garrison's sentiments (as expressed in Garrison's letter to "The Freeman" dated Dec. 16th, 1852) concerning the religious practices of her (unidentified) congregation, in which Garrison describes the "season of silence" as an occasion of "great stupidity". Janney takes Garrison to task for his sarcasm, and contests his understanding of their worship, arguing that it is rather a "time of inward retirement & of silent waiting before the Lord".
