Lucretia Mott is replying to Maria Weston Chapman's "painfully interesting letter." She hopes that Mary S. Parker and some others will retrace their steps. Charles Calistus Burleigh cannot be spared because of his health and his being needed here. John Greenleaf Whittier will soon withdraw from the Freeman. Lucretia Mott writes: "He must not array himself against our dear Wm. L. Garrison.---I should regret to lose him more than any other who lists that way." Moses Cartland will probably succeed him as editor of the paper. The next women's convention must not interfere with attendance at the great Anti-Slavery Convention in London next year. As chairman of the committee in Philadelphia, Lucretia Mott consults Maria W. Chapman about appointing the time. The female society here in Philadelphia is active in behalf of the black people.
