Description
|
Discusses Elizabeth Dunkin's recovery from an injury she recently sustained. Briefly discusses a letter from James Sloan Gibbons giving his views on being disowned by the Society of Friends for his abolitionist views. Mentions a recent lightning strike that set fire to the office of Dr. Edwin Fussell. Describes a trip to French Creek. Says their young relative Benjamin Lundy has "a pretty large bump of 'self-esteem,'" perhaps a phrenological reference.
