Description
|
Mary Townsend was an author and close friend of Graceanna Lewis'. Describes a temperance meeting where Lewis heard and spoke with Elijah Pennypacker. Pennypacker discussed his ideas about individual and collective reform, his inclination to separate from the Society of Friends, and "come-outerism." Lewis also discusses an antislavery paper that she and Townsend intend to start, and she encourages Townsend to have more confidence in herself for this venture. Lewis is interested in asking Frederick Douglass to write some articles about "prejudice against color." In addition, she notes that a woman has recently arrived from Baltimore on the advice of her physician with no travelling companions but her five small children.
