(Page 1)<br /><br /> Rochester first day afternoon<br /> Dear A <br /> E P W returned last night & to my<br /> great disappointment he had not seen or of<br /> you I suppose from some cause you must<br /> have been detained so that you went down<br /> the River 6 Day had it been me I think<br /> I should have remaind [sic] & spent the day in<br /> New York but he felt as tho his buisness [sic] was<br /> completed & home was his place he say I did<br /> not say in my Telegraph communication when<br /> you left or were to leave home but I thought<br /> by saying when yould [sic] be there it would be<br /> easy enough calculating about what time<br /> you must leave home subject of course<br /> to accidental detentions. He seems well <br /> verry [sic] rainy Yesterday & to day & having<br /> his mind so set on going up south with<br /> William Wright that it was hard to give it up<br /> notwithstandi^n^g his Father told him he had bet-<br /> ter wait for fair weather he replied it probibly [sic]<br /> would not rain long but his Father told him<br /> it had every appearance of a continuing as the<br /> wind was East &c But he went & a stormy<br /> time he had of it . and to day I believe they<br /> were going to Lawrance [sic] but what a day<br /> for visiting – I went to the A. S. office thought<br /> to have it open but did not suppose I should<br /> have company did not make fire P Tredwell<br /> came B Fish J Hern Rhoda, Utica & the Free Woman<br /> came we had a reading meeting so I went<br /> in to Williams this morning Willie looked well<br /> and continued as also the rest John Hern suf<br /> fers with a sore finger has been fearfull [sic] of<br /> a Fellon [sic] but we are in hopes it will only prove<br /> a bite being on the finger where there is small<br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> Room to expand causes severe Pain . have not<br /> heard within a day or two from Sarah Burtis but she<br /> was quite feeble when Jacobs left her 6 day morning<br /> have not heard from Elias De Garmo since you left<br /> Have not heard of Lewis arrival yet suppose it must <br /> be nearly time [O?]. I like to have forgotten Professor<br /> ^L<span style="text-decoration:underline;">ew</span>is^ has been liberated the next day after we saw him it<br /> was found the writing by which he was held was not<br /> sufficient and how it came to be left so long I cant<br /> see I heard the joudge [sic] was going^to order his release^but did find<br /> the truth of his being out untill [sic] the day after when<br /> I enquired of a man that said he had seen<br /> him it is now about one I believe I will go home<br /> to ge [sic]dinner. My lips are better but <span style="text-decoration:underline;">not</span> well<br /> 2<sup>nd</sup> day Morning still wet a real mussy time an<br /> almost stead [sic] ranin [sic] ever since Jacob went away<br /> not all the time hard rain I dont think Edmund<br /> will get time to write by this mail he is so taken<br /> up about <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">acconss</span>^examing^bills &c was at the Stor [sic]<br /> the most of the day yesterday. Friend Carpenter<br /> Daughter was buried yesterday I heard nothing<br /> of it untill [sic] afternoon Austin was there &<br /> said ther [sic] were but very few present<br /> it being so rainy & probably few could<br /> have heard of he said there was no preach^i^ng<br /> and Burnett keep often looking at<br /> his watch I suppose the time seemed long<br /> I dont feel any like mourning on account<br /> of Departure for there seemed to may [sic] discouagem<br /> ments [sic] in prospect had she lived John Hern<br /> is still suffering with his hand I think it will<br /> prove a slow bite Willie stays these wet days<br /> Steadily at William, he Williams says he has nothing<br /> to put in this time Love to all Isaac<br />

Rochester first day afternoon Dear A E P W returned last night & to my great disappointment he had not seen or of you I suppose from some cause you must have been detained so that you went down the River 6 Day had it been me I think I should have remaind [sic] & spent the day in New York but he felt as tho his buisness [sic] was completed & home was his place he say I did not say in my Telegraph communication when you left or were to leave home but I thought by saying when yould [sic] be there it would be easy enough calculating about what time you must leave home subject of course to accidental detentions. He seems well verry [sic] rainy Yesterday & to day & having his mind so set on going up south with William Wright that it was hard to give it up notwithstandi^n^g his Father told him he had bet- ter wait for fair weather he replied it probibly [sic] would not rain long but his Father told him it had every appearance of a continuing as the wind was East &c But he went & a stormy time he had of it . and to day I believe they were going to Lawrance [sic] but what a day for visiting - I went to the A. S. office thought to have it open but did not suppose I should have company did not make fire P Tredwell came B Fish J Hern Rhoda, Utica & the Free Woman came we had a reading meeting so I went in to Williams this morning Willie looked well and continued as also the rest John Hern suf fers with a sore finger has been fearfull [sic] of a Fellon [sic] but we are in hopes it will only prove a bite being on the finger where there is small Room to expand causes severe Pain . have not heard within a day or two from Sarah Burtis but she was quite feeble when Jacobs left her 6 day morning have not heard from Elias De Garmo since you left Have not heard of Lewis arrival yet suppose it must be nearly time [O?]. I like to have forgotten Professor ^Lewis^ has been liberated the next day after we saw him it was found the writing by which he was held was not sufficient and how it came to be left so long I cant see I heard the joudge [sic] was going^to order his release^but did find the truth of his being out untill [sic] the day after when I enquired of a man that said he had seen him it is now about one I believe I will go home to ge [sic]dinner. My lips are better but not well 2nd day Morning still wet a real mussy time an almost stead [sic] ranin [sic] ever since Jacob went away not all the time hard rain I dont think Edmund will get time to write by this mail he is so taken up about acconss^examing^bills &c was at the Stor [sic] the most of the day yesterday. Friend Carpenter Daughter was buried yesterday I heard nothing of it untill [sic] afternoon Austin was there & said ther [sic] were but very few present it being so rainy & probably few could have heard of he said there was no preach^i^ng and Burnett keep often looking at his watch I suppose the time seemed long I dont feel any like mourning on account of Departure for there seemed to may [sic] discouagem ments [sic] in prospect had she lived John Hern is still suffering with his hand I think it will prove a slow bite Willie stays these wet days Steadily at William, he Williams says he has nothing to put in this time Love to all Isaac

It is thought that last night was the coldest night or as cold as we ever witnessed Abbigail [sic] Bush has not improved much lately [Nancy?] came for a prescription Yesterday today she says she has confidence in it went to taking it and felt better this morning I am told that their place might be redemed [sic] tomo - row [sic] or it will be gone Mr. Granger is looking for the money and I think he will succeed I feel as tho [sic] I I had rather neglected Sarah Burtis but have had no horse and now we have one no one will will think of turning out without necessity. I have quite a task on hand for Marry [sic] Bush Brought a paper from New York, coppied [sic] from one said to be written by Spirits in Fowlers room and signed by over 60 Spirits prominent individuals and I am getting a short communication from each of them the two last evenings I have read from twenty of them. I have to regret that the Boys did not go to Val- entine Willets it seems as tho They went there for nought that Edmund has recevd [sic] a nother letter from Catherine and she says she is in great hurry for Edmund to come she feels concerned for Issac [Uncle?] is pretty comfortable but did not come home to dinner but I suppose he was more intented [sic] upon learning than eating. [Bruffs?] house was burnt last first day night William & [Bruff?] Frank escaped from the second story window with the loss of most of their cloths [sic] the family saved but very little ther [sic] mother stopped to put her shoes on for she had heard of a woman being turned out barefooted and was frozen therefore she put hers on nothing more at present thy Isaac

Phebe and Catherine went<br /> to day is Monthly Meeting I think we shall<br /> all go. I understand aunt Phebe is in Town<br /> if my note is presented by Uncle Samuel<br /> or any one else I hope the money can be<br /> obtained from Aunt or some one else to pay<br /> it recon the interest at 7 percent it will be 50 dollars<br /><br /> (Page 3)<br /><br /> I should like to say more but it is nearly <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">meeting</span><br /> meeting meeting [sic] time and the Doctor has gone<br /> to breakfast so as soon as he returns I shall <br /> be under the necessity of closing. I breakfasted<br /> with Cousin E Willets he and [Mott?] seemed<br /> very [illegible] at how T Mc Clintock and G F<br /> White will get along today I know not I<br /> think the latter is considered the wonder<br /> of the age by many – our Nantucket female<br /> friends though they were treated rather [obliterated]<br /> by him on account of Abolition he did<br /> not reat [sic] in the subject when I heard<br /> him at Quarterly but last last first [obliterated]<br /> very sever – Our Cousins exceeding[obliterated]<br /> buisy [sic] scarse [sic] time to say more than [obliterated]<br /> do ta<span style="text-decoration:underline;">k</span>e a s<span style="text-decoration:underline;">ea</span>t As much as I want to<br /> se [sic] home I think I shall take my friend in <br /> Long Island and shall be here this 7 and<br /> wither [sic] s^t^ay to attend the buisness [sic] meeting<br /> I cant yet say Thy Isaac<br /><br /> (Page 4)<br /><br /> [Text in center of page, written upward]<br /><br /> Isaac Post<br /> Rochester<br /> Monroe County<br /> N Y

(Page 1)<br /><br /> Rochester 1<sup>st</sup> day morning<br /> 5o of 5 m 1844<br /> My dear Amy<br /> All that I have ^heard^ from thee since thou<br /> left was from Edmund saying he saw the home & I <br /> suppose seventh day evening. I suppose we get along<br /> as well as we could expect but thee dont know<br /> how I miss thee. Mary Dale keeps her temper pretty<br /> well she has the house pretty much to herself though<br /> the day the weather is mostly pleasent [sic] and Matilda<br /> spends much of her time out of doors she spent near a week<br /> with Mary but seemed glad to get back. Thou doubtless<br /> either saw or heard the contents of E P W letters from me that<br /> M Dale has cleaned house &c. The Cherry Peach & plumb [sic]<br /> trees have lost then blossoms and Apple trees are now in<br /> full bloom as also the <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">the</span> Lilock [sic] bushes & I have been<br /> hoeing peas this morning. Jeffries & Sarah are settled<br /> in the 4<sup>th</sup> loft directly over our small store they seem<br /> pretty well situated have two large rooms sarah has<br /> a cold some unwell Joseph & Elizabeth have finally gone<br /> to board the east side of the river were [sic] they used to live<br /> P Grove declines going on the farm & David Fox has<br /> concluded to go how he will do I dont know he has<br /> a late begining [sic] & the grass is so large ^it^ is difficult ploughing<br /> What an excelent [sic] letter that is of Harriet Martineau or rather<br /> production for it does not appear as a letter in the standard of the<br /> 2<sup>nd</sup> of this month I was particularly struck with the part<br /> relative to the hapiness [sic] the spirit of forgiveness produces<br /> it is indeed a Jewil [sic] of priceless value. The other day I<br /> recvd a letter from G M Cooper on buisness [sic]. In wich [sic]<br /> he adds after views relative to monthly meeting matters<br /> &c Mankind are strugling [sic] for liberty they ^must^ have it<br /> God made and created them for it. Sects may strive to<br /> fetter and enslave. but men are out living ^it^ Sects<br /> would make all men think ^alike^ or smother their con-<br /> victions in silence. Priestcraft is the same wherever<br /> found it matters not wither [sic] disguised under a drab coat<br /> or a black one. Notwithstanding the per<span style="text-decoration:underline;">secut</span>or should claim<br /> our sympathy not wrath or indignation they are<br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> only carrying out t<span style="text-decoration:underline;">he</span>ir r<span style="text-decoration:underline;">eli</span>g<span style="text-decoration:underline;">io</span>n.

God ^be^ glorified.<br /> I & S. W & Mary & Phebe Smith have been here<br /> the 3 latter have ^gone^ to S Ports & it is now time for me<br /> to prepare for meeting. I should have said above The<br /> immediate cause of G M Cooper, writing us he did I sup<br /> pose was because of the complaint against Elihu<br /> May for his belief &c I understand he was disowned<br /> last month I was not there. Farewell untill [sic] after meeting<br /> Meeting rather small and nearly silent Barnabus offered<br /> a few words near the close I do not recollect to have heard<br /> B Renouf since thee left Mary Braithwait was at Meeting<br /> John Robbinsens health is improving the Browns have broken<br /> up and left. C Frost has left the market and is engaged at<br /> continuing his stone wall and arranging his lot & Peter<br /> has a fine job painting the old Assilem [sic]. he Peter<br /> is coming in the house next to Cheneys. suppose<br /> thou will soon leave the Island to attend the convention<br /> I hope thee will enjoy it but I do not feel that it would<br /> be much gratification for me to attend hope there will<br /> much good grow out of it hope zeal will be tempered<br /> with judgement [sic] I do not like our friends batling [sic]<br /> with those that think they are called to work at the<br /> Ballet Box but I think it would ^be better^ to bear in remembrane [sic]<br /> the experience [sic] of Jesus let them alone for they that are<br /> not for us are against us evidently meaning if they<br /> do cast out Devils they are doing the same work they<br /> are engaged about so the deciples [sic] must not forbid<br /> them. I have been renewedly convinced that<br /> much good is being done by our Liberty party<br /><br /> (Page 3)<br /><br /> friends they continue to meet 2<sup>nd</sup> day evenings and si-<br /> cuss the merets [sic] of the 3 Parties with I think incresing [sic]<br /> interst [sic] it gives Bloss a chance to tell how powerfull [sic]<br /> Morrel [sic] Suasion is and that political ^action^ only is calcul-<br /> ated to hold what su^a^sion gains &c and Porter<br /> to [sic] has done well as far as I can judge. those attend<br /> that would not go any were [sic] else to hear the subject<br /> of liberty canvassed on somany bearings. and to se [sic] the<br /> Liberator continualy [sic] saying so many hard things<br /> against the liberty party as tho there was no honesty<br /> amongst them why when it gets out here and is seen<br /> by the inocent [sic] ones such as Henry Quimby <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">why</span> they<br /> must necessarily suppose there is something wrong<br /> in the manegers [sic] of the paper for they seem disposed<br /> to find fault with every thing that that party does<br /> while here as honest ones as are enlisted in the cause<br /> look though [sic] Liberty ^party^ eyes. How much better it would<br /> be to follow out H Martinau [sic] theory to forgive<br /> what others say of us. how much more noble it would<br /> be. and how much better we should feel to keep out<br /> of these slandering faultfinding spirit and stand on<br /> the elivated [sic] position where we could look down<br /> upon them ^with^ the feeling of Father forgive them for<br /> they know not what they do.

<p>(Page 1)<br /><br /> Rochester June 3<sup>[rd?]</sup> 1849<br /> Dear Sister<br /> Recvd [sic] a Letter from Amy day before<br /> yesterday Dated Boston & as she does not make<br /> her appearance which she might have done had she<br /> have come home soon after the Boston Meetings<br /> I am apprehensive she returend with Willett & Matilda<br /> to Long Island or possibly she may have stoped [sic] at Waterloo<br /> tho she said nothing about it in her letter she had written<br /> in great haste evidently. Shall be glad to welco-<br /> me thee & Aunt Phebe as soon as you can<br /> feel ready to come was quite disappointed to find<br /> Amy had left thee indeed I had no expe-<br /> ctation that Amy would feel such a wish<br /> to go to Boston as must have been the case<br /> I hope thee has had a good visit with Elisabeth<br /> and your dear Father & Mother I wish they<br /> could feel like coming with you and spend<br /> 6 Months or a year with us we would gladly<br /> give up our bedroom to them. Bridget has<br /> been quite unwell for two or three day past but<br /> has gone out this afternoon Willie has been<br /> to our house to day to dinner seemed as well<br /> and as hapy [sic] as ever.

We are at the Kirby Mansion Amy talking with Father just as natural as 20 years ago Matilda is not well has a very sore finger but is around. Willet is as well as usual we came to Josephs 6th day evening went to Isaac Rushmores seventh day Stephen & Edmund both from home Matilda was moving about gracefully attending to her duties but complained of sore throat Joseph wife & Daughters were at the meetings in N.Y. also Catharine Willis It was rainy or damp nearly all the time we were in New York but for all ^that^ the meetings were unusually large and interesting the concluding speach [sic] was by Garrison the audience were very attentive and applauded his most [witty?] sentences without any signs of disapprobation how different from former years his speach [sic] was grand sublime clear and convincing in highest degree George Willets was there and we thought we should be obliged to leave before the meeting ended on account of the distance to his house but as he was with us we felt easy to stay his motion and he said afterwards he could not get away untill [sic] the end he felt his Garrisons greatness more than ever it was 11 oclock [sic] I believe when we arrived at his house we were at George every night while in N.Y. We went to Aunt Mary Posts sixth day had a very fine time saw all the Daughters conversation did not flagg [sic] while we staid [sic] they expressed gladness for our visit &c Joseph & Mary & daughters came with us to Jericho yesterday we found James & Elisebeth here. None of us went to Meeting except to Joseph said when asked what me- eting we had attended a free meeting I suppose alluding to our pleasent [sic] free conversation it is very pleasent [sic] being here But I think vegetation is not more forward than with you it has been quite cold since we have been here I doubt whither [sic] we shall get home before next third day we find Isaac Hicks and wife are about going to Rochester & may get there before we do they expect to stop at Ska- neatles [sic] on their way and James & Elisebeth talk of making us a visit quite soon If Joseph thinks it will be to [sic] long for him to wait for us and his friends think best for him to go perhaps he had better go but I wish him to have his accounts drawn off so that they can be readily understood I think he had better settle Arthur Burtis account or leave the account of all he has done for him with the dates and all Arthur & Warren paid as well as what he receved [sic] from me on there [sic] accounts let Roberts account also be made clear the same with Dr. T[rimbly?] if it is thought best for Joseph to go before our return on account of his things getting throught before our return I would like $10000 be furnished him which I can replace on my return I wish him to look well to his prospects and not engage to pay such rents as will ruin him before he gets started it may be by enquiring he will find some much more favorable location at some other point where rents will not be so extravigantly [sic] high as at Chicago I want him to feel that he must depend upon his own exertions for sucess I shall feel very sorry to hear his establishment must be sold to satisfy creditors but I sup- pose the best way to prove Josephs abilities to manage buisness [sic] will be to let him try. it is to be hoped he will bring those faculties into use which will plan wisely execute promptly & the result will be success.

<p>I am not sorry that home has its attractions</p>
<p>but I will not say much as thee did not</p>

<p>tfull [sic] about thy getting this I have seen Lucys</p>
<p>Father once since you left all as well as usual</p>
<p>I have receved [sic] a letter from Jackson & Mary</p>
<p>encourageing [sic] us to come to N.Y. and visit</p>

<p>Edmunds carrying the little boy</p>
<p>Sister Sarah met them cordially but</p>
<p>I doubt their being able to be as free as tho [sic]</p>

The girls or women do nicely<br /> Sarah atentend [sic] to substancials [sic] and Mary<br /> fixes and does up the entries so that we are<br /> as neat as need be Mary Ann moves on in<br /> her usual manner -- It has been quite<br /> rainy lately our grapes in ful [sic] ripeness<br /> and as sweet as need be the leaves fall<br /> very much haveing [sic] had frosts lately<br /> I will skip some other things and state that <br /> altho the evening was dark and clouds theatng [sic]<br /> some of us assembled in our ^meeting^ room sucth [sic]<br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> [Olen?] and wife and children we did not here [sic]<br /> much manifestation tho daughter became<br /> Partially Clayvoint [sic]. Some Friend Wrote by my<br /> hand “I will say a few words to my friends at this<br /> time. I am convinced that it seems to some of<br /> you that your progress is slow and that the pros-<br /> pect sometimes look discourageing [sic] yet it is be-<br /> cause you have not the vision of Spirits for to us<br /> the progress seems great it is but as yesterday<br /> compared to eternity and some of you were wadeing [sic]<br /> in the deepest uncertainty and now behold<br /> the [blazing?] light that shines before you<br /> Certaintty [sic] has taken the place of uncertaintty [sic]<br /> You perceive by what is manifested to your ext-<br /> ernal senses even. that to leave the body is<br /> but to exchange habitations and is this nothing?<br /> It is enough to redeem the world provided all<br /> had your experience for which of you feel disposed<br /> to do a wrong and if there was no wrong doers<br /> there would be no sinners. all would be<br /> harmony. Love would fill the whole earth.<br /> Joy would resound throughout the Spirit<br /> world. And peace and plenty would abound.”<br /> Last evening Lewis Burtis with his wife<br /> and Daughter & Mr and Mrs [Kedzie?] Emeline<br /> [Bills?] and Spirit medium from Cleaveland [sic]<br /> called for me to go Browns on [Sixth?] Street<br /> as he had his long [fruit?] waggon [sic] and room I<br /> joined them and found a large company already<br /><br /><br /><br /> (Page 3)<br /><br /> collected our Cleveland Friend I do not recollect<br /> her name very soon commenced her I do not know<br /> wat [sic] to call it but to make almanner [sic] of motions<br /> with her hand and [Ham^m^ond?] occationally [sic] seemed<br /> to be controled [sic] by some Spirit and his Spirit<br /> and hers seemed to answer out to hers and<br /> then to his-- then she passed into a clayrvoyant [sic]<br /> state when she when some Spirit through her<br /> [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">said</span>?] ^uttered^ some very sublime sentences perhaps<br /> as full of substance as I suppose it possible to be<br /> convayed [sic] in few words some of us regretted we did not<br /> take minutes_ She soon seemed in conversation<br /> with an Indian imitated his sounds as far as<br /> we could discovour [sic] and then interpreted [showing?]<br /> equality of Spirits the indian was as the white man<br /> and the white man as the Indian &c and soon<br /> he seemed so delighted that he was so recognized that<br /> he made her Dance the Indian Dance the other<br /> Mediums present. [females?] beat time I supose [sic]<br /> I we had a real Indian Dance it was done very <br /> neatly for she is a very interesting neat looking<br /> and performs with perfect Grace and ease after<br /> that the Spirits seemed to manifest a [desire?]<br /> to hear singing when sober church music<br /> was sung there was very little manifestation of<br /> moving articles compared to what followed<br /> when something more lively was sung then<br /> it was that all seemed let loose the center table<br /> began to dance if possible for it bounced<br /><br /> (Page 4)<br /><br /> about as tho life had been suddenly breathed<br /> in to and it jumped for joy such motions<br /> as it was in is beyound [sic] my powers of description<br /> Lewis Burtis endeavored to hold it but he<br /> had not power to stay it. Thus, we had<br /> we had al [sic] kinds of entertainment from the<br /> most grave to the most boisterous and again<br /> our Friend was in the clayvoint [sic] state (which<br /> she was not in when the table carried on so)<br /> and the more sober predominated. the Table<br /> moving seemed to depend upon our Mediums<br /> as they were unknown to her she reminded me<br /> of our Sister Phebe in her youthful days<br /> As I returned home some Spirit told me he would<br /> writ [sic] if I would allow it--and here is a coppy [sic]<br /> I will give my views about this evenings entertain-<br /> ment it was well to witness it--there was a mixture.<br /> there were elevated minds present and there were less<br /> developed ones--there were elevated Spirits present and<br /> there were those not capaciated [sic] to instruct it is for<br /> you to attend to your own calling and allow others<br /> full liberty to work out their own advancement and<br /> have no controversy with them but lead on to higher<br /> and more elevated views and aspirations--Altho there<br /> was some of the most exalted manifestations<br /> there was some not calculated to elevate and it<br /> remains to learn to distinguish between and<br /> so conduct your circles as to retain the one order<br /> of spirits and refrain from being controled [sic] by the other<br /> -- I must now leave this and if I have opportuty [sic]<br /> to add in the course of the day thee may depend upon<br /> my doing so our Ohio frnd [sic] I believe expects<br /> to be present at our meeting to day [sic] how we shall come<br /> out I do not know But as Roda has been down to<br /> Brown to see the Table manifest I suppose we may claim her ^now^<br /><br /><br /><br /> (Page 5)<br /><br /> After the afternoon meeting we have had quite<br /> a full meeting in the morning our Cleveland frnd [sic]<br /> went home with Lewis Burtis last night<br /> as soon as she came in [almost?] her hand began<br /> to shak [sic] or flap Mammond [sic] was near her<br /> and he was requested to use magnetism to<br /> see if he could throw off the influence he<br /> said he did not understand the science<br /> but he tried to do what he could she was<br /> quite willing they should try and a [sic] Hammond<br /> seemed to work so faithlessly Benjamin<br /> Fish offered his services but insted [sic] of<br /> quieting her Spirits used even more<br /> earnest efforts to affect her.

[Text at top of left margin, written upwards] Thee did not speak of attending the [college?] Meeting at Seneca falls had thee done so per haps I should have met [thee?] there but I supose [sic] the [sic] will not have time after rec= ceiving [sic] this I am [invited?] to two circles this eveng [sic] at [Olean?] and at the [res?] where our [Friend?] will be and I shall go [there?] I [think?] Thy Isaac [Text normal] Rochester Oct 10th 1852 My Dear Amy Thine without date was rec'd yesterday but I supose [sic] fifth day last -I was glad the [sic] was enj- oying [them?] so well I suppose thee has received two ere this one from Sarah and myself sent to Jericho and one same date to Brothr [sic] Joseph My time is so taken up first days that I have but little time to write especially when I ind- ulge myself to remain late in bed but I am thinking unless I send this to day or this evening thee may be on thy return but I will direct again to Joseph that it may find him and family even if it misses thee not that it will be of great consequence but we love to be remembered Sarah went home with Elias Doty and Jacob went for her this mor- ning I expect they will not return untill [sic] to morrow [sic]. The girls or women do nicely Sarah atentend [sic] to substancials [sic] and Mary fixes and does up the entries so that we are as neat as need be Mary Ann moves on in her usual manner -- It has been quite rainy lately our grapes in ful [sic] ripeness and as sweet as need be the leaves fall very much haveing [sic] had frosts lately I will skip some other things and state that altho the evening was dark and clouds theatng [sic] some of us assembled in our ^meeting^ room sucth [sic] [Olen?] and wife and children we did not here [sic] much manifestation tho daughter became Partially Clayvoint [sic]. Some Friend Wrote by my hand "I will say a few words to my friends at this time. I am convinced that it seems to some of you that your progress is slow and that the pros- pect sometimes look discourageing [sic] yet it is be- cause you have not the vision of Spirits for to us the progress seems great it is but as yesterday compared to eternity and some of you were wadeing [sic] in the deepest uncertainty and now behold the [blazing?] light that shines before you Certaintty [sic] has taken the place of uncertaintty [sic] You perceive by what is manifested to your ext- ernal senses even. that to leave the body is but to exchange habitations and is this nothing? It is enough to redeem the world provided all had your experience for which of you feel disposed to do a wrong and if there was no wrong doers there would be no sinners. all would be harmony. Love would fill the whole earth. Joy would resound throughout the Spirit world. And peace and plenty would abound." Last evening Lewis Burtis with his wife and Daughter & Mr and Mrs [Kedzie?] Emeline [Bills?] and Spirit medium from Cleaveland [sic] called for me to go Browns on [Sixth?] Street as he had his long [fruit?] waggon [sic] and room I joined them and found a large company already collected our Cleveland Friend I do not recollect her name very soon commenced her I do not know wat [sic] to call it but to make almanner [sic] of motions with her hand and [Ham^m^ond?] occationally [sic] seemed to be controled [sic] by some Spirit and his Spirit and hers seemed to answer out to hers and then to his-- then she passed into a clayrvoyant [sic] state when she when some Spirit through her [said?] ^uttered^ some very sublime sentences perhaps as full of substance as I suppose it possible to be convayed [sic] in few words some of us regretted we did not take minutes_ She soon seemed in conversation with an Indian imitated his sounds as far as we could discovour [sic] and then interpreted [showing?] equality of Spirits the indian was as the white man and the white man as the Indian &c and soon he seemed so delighted that he was so recognized that he made her Dance the Indian Dance the other Mediums present. [females?] beat time I supose [sic] I we had a real Indian Dance it was done very neatly for she is a very interesting neat looking and performs with perfect Grace and ease after that the Spirits seemed to manifest a [desire?] to hear singing when sober church music was sung there was very little manifestation of moving articles compared to what followed when something more lively was sung then it was that all seemed let loose the center table began to dance if possible for it bounced about as tho life had been suddenly breathed in to and it jumped for joy such motions as it was in is beyound [sic] my powers of description Lewis Burtis endeavored to hold it but he had not power to stay it. Thus, we had we had al [sic] kinds of entertainment from the most grave to the most boisterous and again our Friend was in the clayvoint [sic] state (which she was not in when the table carried on so) and the more sober predominated. the Table moving seemed to depend upon our Mediums as they were unknown to her she reminded me of our Sister Phebe in her youthful days As I returned home some Spirit told me he would writ [sic] if I would allow it--and here is a coppy [sic] I will give my views about this evenings entertain- ment it was well to witness it--there was a mixture. there were elevated minds present and there were less developed ones--there were elevated Spirits present and there were those not capaciated [sic] to instruct it is for you to attend to your own calling and allow others full liberty to work out their own advancement and have no controversy with them but lead on to higher and more elevated views and aspirations--Altho there was some of the most exalted manifestations there was some not calculated to elevate and it remains to learn to distinguish between and so conduct your circles as to retain the one order of spirits and refrain from being controled [sic] by the other -- I must now leave this and if I have opportuty [sic] to add in the course of the day thee may depend upon my doing so our Ohio frnd [sic] I believe expects to be present at our meeting to day [sic] how we shall come out I do not know But as Roda has been down to Brown to see the Table manifest I suppose we may claim her ^now^ After the afternoon meeting we have had quite a full meeting in the morning our Cleveland frnd [sic] went home with Lewis Burtis last night as soon as she came in [almost?] her hand began to shak [sic] or flap Mammond [sic] was near her and he was requested to use magnetism to see if he could throw off the influence he said he did not understand the science but he tried to do what he could she was quite willing they should try and a [sic] Hammond seemed to work so faithlessly Benjamin Fish offered his services but insted [sic] of quieting her Spirits used even more earnest efforts to affect her. [conversation?] from different ones were delivered Gregg the principal speaker our [illegible] friends were there in full force but very mild it was observable that our Cleaveland [sic] Mrs Williamson was inclined to go into a claryvoint [sic] state we [illegible]15 minutes quiet to allow her time when she arose and spoke some [esoteric?]] things the believers looked very happy while she was thus exercised and the unbelievers looked very deeply pondering what they saw and heard the meeting ended our Friend, with L.

(Page 1)<br /><br /> Hartford Sixth day morning<br /><br /> Aman by name [illegible] from New Jersey has been<br /> speaking and as his manner is rather Austere and altho I admire<br /> the man and his mind seems expanded his reason beyond<br /> yet he is not a favorite speaker to me for I delight to<br /> here [sic] a kindly inviting speaker the best but now<br /> another is speaking which I like better altho I do<br /> not fellowship his views but I like the manner<br /> he seems a minister and is [illegible] [pertaining the?]<br /> scripture but takes care to remind the two speak<br /> ers for they believe in the powers of Daniel &<br /> he does too they believe in the outward coming of christ<br /> the believers the realization of the prophecy in the<br /> rappings in Fox family which commenced in 1853<br /> his name Danforth his talk is so strongly interesting that<br /> I will forbear writing more and listen to him he has<br /> Spoken his 40 minutes which is the limit Stors and Pilsbury<br /> each [burning?] to be heard the Audience large and<br /> interested but a few word about the last speakers<br /> he said he has a clayvoint [sic] son of two weeks<br /> standing and himself a convert of 14 days<br /> and the report of his speach [sic] will be much more<br /> interesting than what I can pen while listening<br /> to Stors he says by natural religion you cannot<br /> prove but what there are [obliterated] of those<br /> he says natural religion and natural theology<br /> will not do to try the Bible by. Now [Phenny?]<br /> is now up and I am listening with delight but I<br /> will not undertake a discription [sic] [Garrison?] has<br /> come in the meting [sic] has adjourned<br /> Afternoon I went Davis to dinner with Lewis & Sarah<br /> [fout?] Catherine still unwell with a troublesome<br /> cough had not been to meeting but was able<br /> to dish out the dinner they have a delightfull [sic]<br /> home trees and grass in abundance but very<br /> tilled ground that is ploughed or dug their rooms<br /> are small and well hung with pictures &<br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> Garrison was or is in a strange place not having<br /> been here since 18 30 and wholly a stranger to<br /> Catherine and I thought our friend Davis felt<br /> as tho a superior was present. we had a <br /> bountifull [sic] dinner and returned and now I am<br /> hearing the other Milerite [sic] whose government<br /> over his feelings is praise worthy but I feel<br /> but little interest in what he is saying but<br /> he is trying to make out that [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">illegible</span>] the<br /> natural condition of man is not harmonious<br /> by saying that when two [ages?] produce<br /> thinkings they soon shew inharmony if one<br /> feels imposed upon - he says the bible does<br /> not teach immortality and therefor [sic] when man<br /> is laid in the grave then he remains<br /> untill [sic] awakened by some crowning power<br /><span style="text-decoration:line-through;">he feels that if man is a </span>[<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">illegible</span>]<span style="text-decoration:line-through;"> the </span>[<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">illegible</span>]<span style="text-decoration:line-through;"><br /> what can man do when</span> but no matter abot [sic]<br /> his abstractions his 40 minutes are out and<br /> Joseph Barker is now up he brings down<br /> the house with his shrewed [sic] remarks did<br /> our oponents [sic] establish any law by which<br /> they wish to try the [scriptions?] by and we<br /> are ready _ he is showing the acknowledge-<br /> ment of commentators that there are<br /> many [in us?] _ [illegible] is God Glory the<br /> earth is full of his glory and if Man<br /> can be known by his fruits why not<br /> know God by his works if we know<br /> not God untill [sic] the Bible how do we<br /> know but what he did before the Bible<br /> was made but I canot [sic] give his manner<br /> of treating the subject his Eloquence is grand<br /> his logic is unanswerable and I will leave<br /> endeavouring to discribe [sic] he sat down<br /> amid applause I hope his speech will<br /> appear in print and now different view<br /> <br /> (Page 3)<br /><br /> and the man who spoke before Barker spoke<br /> [here the spirit speaks?]<br /> Let us take a general view of the subject<br /> Let us take a Spirit view or rather a<br /> view as I hold it Oh could you see the<br /> Scriptures as I see them could you see the<br /> wrongs that are perpetuated in their name<br /> could you see how they are used to<br /> sustain power and austentation [sic] and<br /> how the poor are loaded with burthens [sic]<br /> to sustain its advocates who use the <br /> Scriptures to sustain their standing<br /> no matter who must suffer & how<br /> much [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">they</span>] suffering is produced on some<br /> yet that matters not but he that <br /> succeeds the best to induce the greatest<br /> control under the present state of<br /> the feeble mind gains the most honour<br /> to himself and the greatest pay for<br /> his services We see the Clergy to [sic] sel-<br /> fish to be proper judges in this case<br /> they are to [sic] much interested in the<br /> decision to longer stand in the place<br /> of Judge & Jury then for we se [sic] it<br /> time for the people ^to^ take the mom-<br /> entious [sic] subject in there [sic] own hands<br /> and no longer be rode by a class who<br /> have long rode them unmercifully<br /> Here is ^the^ point to begin the work from<br /> take the judgment in your own hands<br /> let each examine for themselves and recei-<br /> ve nothing from interested persons with-<br /> out strict examination the work is<br /> great but it never will be better than<br /> now to commence and the work must<br /> e carried on by the people independ-<br /> ently of the teachers that have here-<br /> tofore been looked to for leaders<br /><br /> (Page 4)<br /><br /> Let me say many Spirits are here<br /> looking on with such interest as you cannot<br /> fully appreciate we patiently wait while<br /> such speakers as ^is^ now speaking we wait<br /> untill [sic] he is done and then we long to<br /> assist the next speaker any ^here [illegible]^ W L G read<br /> some excellent resolutions then P Pilsbury<br /> Engaged the audience as perhaps the people<br /> of Hartford never heard it was admirable it<br /> was grand and I will leave the printed report<br /> report [sic] to speak for itself. at the close of his<br /> speach [sic] adjourned to met [sic] at 1/4 past 7 and<br /> now the people are coming in great numbers<br /> George Storrs is now speaking he say see<br /> that City the people living lovingly to gether<br /> and the Cruel God of Nature shakes the<br /> City down murders the people and then <br /> behold the people bringing and loving and<br /> enjoying themselves and he sends a flood &<br /> drowns and is not your God of Nature as<br /> bad as the God of the Bible &c &c he<br /> crowding in Spirit now writes<br /> Let us patiently hear what he has to say and<br /> then will our friends be prepared to give the<br /> truth as far as they realize it we must have<br /> patience <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">in the</span> for that will be found the most<br /> ready way to accomplish the changes that must<br /> be brought about before man progress as he<br /> should and must before his chains will pull<br /> and he has the mentality free and then his progress<br /> will ^be^ accelerated [sic] impediments will be removed<br /> out of the way the advantages would be greater<br /> than is in my power to portray _ _<br /> Now W L Garrison has arisen the other having<br /> spoken his 40 minutes

(Page 1)<br /><br /> Hartford 7th day June 4th 1853<br /> Last evening W L Garrison spoke worthy of himself observing<br /> that it was not because his hands were out of employment<br /> that he was here but because of the weakness of it<br /> he was ready to be identified with any good cause<br /> however unpopular he introduced the most appropriate<br /> resolutions - Only think of an arrangement that was<br /> entered into last evening when his 40 minutes were up<br /> a proposition was offered that he should be allowed ^to proceed^ when one<br /> of the opposers would agree that he go on provided he<br /> would be allowed the same time this evening - Which was<br /> a greed to and the meeting this evening I suppose must be<br /> bored with one who I presume has discharged his brightest<br /> thoughts already and if so I do not know what is to come<br /> The meeting broke up last evening amid the glow of<br /> the lightnings [sic] flash with a promise of a spedy [sic] rain which<br /> was realised very soon many were without umbrellas<br /> which i thought did not denote wisdom as the clouds <br /> indicated a storm and the air was close but as I had one I<br /> fared well altho the walk is not a short one for Heartford [sic]<br /> like Rochester spreads its wings over a large space. I am<br /> early at the meeting room writing this a large company<br /> is collected in an outer room I percive [sic] discussing Spirit<br /> unfoldings of the present and past - On takeing [sic] up a<br /> Tribune I perceive the wrong were Victorians with you<br /> I hope the prospect of a rupture nor the realization of it<br /> will injure thy health nor retard its spedy [sic] recovery<br /> I rejoice that the result has been reached for it<br /> is better to live in peace tho alone than to contend<br /> it is better to live in ^an^ atmosphere of freedom than to be either<br /> contending or suspicious that others are intriguing I think I<br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> can see progress even in the painfull [sic] result I feel a <br /> sympathy for Susen [sic] Anthony who has labored<br /> so faithfully and untiringly as well as others but<br /> let them not be discouraged it is better to be right tho<br /> alone than wrong surrounded with company - While I<br /> write the instrument on which my paper lays is sending<br /> forthe [sic] the most harmonious sounds accompanied with my<br /> favorite sounds from the living voices. I wish our Rochester<br /> Frnds could behold the bright and happy countenances as<br /> they enter the Hall. but it must be lacking respect<br /> [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">whit</span>?] it seems to me while the music is pouring forth<br /> for me to be writing but before I finished my sentence<br /> the meeting is called to order - and now a discussion<br /> is on foot whither [sic] the meeting shall continue to allow <br /> the two Adventists to answer or take as much time<br /> After much time spent on the subject of changing [unles?] all<br /> [changes?] were laid by and Mr Britten is now speaking<br /> and such a speach [sic] is indiscribable [sic] by me it was<br /> grand it was truthfull [sic] it called ^out^ h<span style="text-decoration:underline;">ear</span> at different from<br /> Garrison and thus I have his testmony, thus uttered<br /> to sustain me - And now the man 14 Days old<br /> or I suppose 15 to day in Spiritualism to day - he<br /> is rather pleasant speaker and proposes to speak<br /> for the Bible but he raps his Advent brethren<br /> pretty sharply. he is a noble looking man with<br /> the mark of innocence he claims to speak on<br /> the side of the Scriptures - he is through and<br /> H C Wright is up with a reiteration that<br /> he has made before that it sustains such<br /> and such naughty and wicked things<br /><br /> (Page 3)<br /><br /> he swept a way the Idea that God sends Earthquakes to<br /> kill men or floods or disease or Thunderbolts [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">illegible</span>]<br /> but that these effects would all have happened had<br /> there been no men there. he is through and W L G is<br /> called on to explain the word redemption which he<br /> used last evening his explanation is not satistory [sic] -<br /> Adjourned to 10 past two. W L G went to our home to<br /> dinner he seemed free and interesting and gave a very int<br /> eresting account of his experience with the Spirit manifestation<br /> which I think was as exhausting as any thing we have<br /> witnessed and he did not undertake to explain I trust<br /> he hoped it true. he was not satisfied of the reality<br /> I asked him to explain what he witnessed by<br /> any law or Science but did not undertake it<br /> Now we have assembled again had music an[d]<br /> the Speaking has commenced and Stors is th[obliterated]<br /> mand with his noise and absurdity but such is [life?]<br /> [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">it</span>?] Spirit now comes to control And I will edeav-<br /> our to harmonize with it I am more and more<br /> convinced that arguments or disputations are<br /> not calculated to develop truth but if any<br /> have experience to unfold let him do it<br /> clearly and when it is understood fully learn<br /> it and go forward for there is work crouding [sic]<br /> for attention so let me impress the deity<br /> firmly on every one that they should shew forth<br /> in all simplicity the truth as it is experience<br /> ah there it is beauty in simplicity there is more<br /> power in it for than any supose [sic] untill [sic]<br /> they prove it for themselves -<br /> I suppose I shall leave this place second day<br /> morning as I suppose there is no sunday<br /> travelling in this the land of blue laws and<br /> s<span style="text-decoration:underline;">tea</span>dy h<span style="text-decoration:underline;">abit</span>s but I feel quit [sic] under the prospect of ^continuing to the end^<br /><br /> (Page 4)<br /><br /> J Barker is now speaking he is more pointed<br /> and concise than most Speakers Mrs Rose<br /> about the ^same^ time J Barker did but gain way<br /> he is suming [sic] up surprisingly he is the most<br /> ready quoter of Scripture I ever heard as also of other<br /> writings he is a host of himself and it is not poss<br /> sible [sic] that all can speak as thy [sic] would like to in<br /> a four days meeting or Convention J B has been<br /> so interesting that he has been granted more time<br /> [Continues at bottom of page with line beginning "than 40 minutes"]<br /><br /> [Text halfway down page in center, written upwards]<br /> Isaac Post<br /> for Amy Post<br /> Rochester<br /> NY<br /><br /> [Text halfway down page against right edge, written upwards]<br /> It is awfull [sic] to hear J B<br /><span style="text-decoration:line-through;">to</span> depict the evils that<br /> the Bible inculcates and<br /> its advocates and none can<br /><span style="text-decoration:line-through;">G</span>gainsay<br /><br /> [Text normal]<br /> than 40 minutes he is now summing up the <br /> contradictory passages of Scriptues and now<br /> the Bible <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">the</span> contradicts the Sciences and<br /> much very much more then there are Contradi-<br /> ctions in regard to morrels [sic] - the people are<br /> looking with wonder - I suppose I must send<br /> this to night or it cannot go untill second<br /> day and I do not know that this will go<br /> untill [sic] second day but I will put this<br /> in the office after meeting and shall not send<br /> any more untill [sic] after meeting perhaps from<br /> N York<br /> [Continues upwards into right margin]<br /> Affectionately Isaac

Hartford 7th day June 4th 1853 Last evening W L Garrison spoke worthy of himself observing that it was not because his hands were out of employment that he was here but because of the weakness of it he was ready to be identified with any good cause however unpopular he introduced the most appropriate resolutions - Only think of an arrangement that was entered into last evening when his 40 minutes were up a proposition was offered that he should be allowed ^to proceed^ when one of the opposers would agree that he go on provided he would be allowed the same time this evening - Which was a greed to and the meeting this evening I suppose must be bored with one who I presume has discharged his brightest thoughts already and if so I do not know what is to come The meeting broke up last evening amid the glow of the lightnings [sic] flash with a promise of a spedy [sic] rain which was realised very soon many were without umbrellas which i thought did not denote wisdom as the clouds indicated a storm and the air was close but as I had one I fared well altho the walk is not a short one for Heartford [sic] like Rochester spreads its wings over a large space. I am early at the meeting room writing this a large company is collected in an outer room I percive [sic] discussing Spirit unfoldings of the present and past - On takeing [sic] up a Tribune I perceive the wrong were Victorians with you I hope the prospect of a rupture nor the realization of it will injure thy health nor retard its spedy [sic] recovery I rejoice that the result has been reached for it is better to live in peace tho alone than to contend it is better to live in ^an^ atmosphere of freedom than to be either contending or suspicious that others are intriguing I think I can see progress even in the painfull [sic] result I feel a sympathy for Susen [sic] Anthony who has labored so faithfully and untiringly as well as others but let them not be discouraged it is better to be right tho alone than wrong surrounded with company - While I write the instrument on which my paper lays is sending forthe [sic] the most harmonious sounds accompanied with my favorite sounds from the living voices. I wish our Rochester Frnds could behold the bright and happy countenances as they enter the Hall. but it must be lacking respect [whit?] it seems to me while the music is pouring forth for me to be writing but before I finished my sentence the meeting is called to order - and now a discussion is on foot whither [sic] the meeting shall continue to allow the two Adventists to answer or take as much time After much time spent on the subject of changing [unles?] all [changes?] were laid by and Mr Britten is now speaking and such a speach [sic] is indiscribable [sic] by me it was grand it was truthfull [sic] it called ^out^ hear at different from Garrison and thus I have his testmony, thus uttered to sustain me - And now the man 14 Days old or I suppose 15 to day in Spiritualism to day - he is rather pleasant speaker and proposes to speak for the Bible but he raps his Advent brethren pretty sharply. he is a noble looking man with the mark of innocence he claims to speak on the side of the Scriptures - he is through and H C Wright is up with a reiteration that he has made before that it sustains such and such naughty and wicked things he swept a way the Idea that God sends Earthquakes to kill men or floods or disease or Thunderbolts [illegible] but that these effects would all have happened had there been no men there. he is through and W L G is called on to explain the word redemption which he used last evening his explanation is not satistory [sic] - Adjourned to 10 past two. W L G went to our home to dinner he seemed free and interesting and gave a very int eresting account of his experience with the Spirit manifestation which I think was as exhausting as any thing we have witnessed and he did not undertake to explain I trust he hoped it true. he was not satisfied of the reality I asked him to explain what he witnessed by any law or Science but did not undertake it Now we have assembled again had music an[d] the Speaking has commenced and Stors is th[obliterated] mand with his noise and absurdity but such is [life?] [it?] Spirit now comes to control And I will edeav- our to harmonize with it I am more and more convinced that arguments or disputations are not calculated to develop truth but if any have experience to unfold let him do it clearly and when it is understood fully learn it and go forward for there is work crouding [sic] for attention so let me impress the deity firmly on every one that they should shew forth in all simplicity the truth as it is experience ah there it is beauty in simplicity there is more power in it for than any supose [sic] untill [sic] they prove it for themselves - I suppose I shall leave this place second day morning as I suppose there is no sunday travelling in this the land of blue laws and steady habits but I feel quit [sic] under the prospect of ^continuing to the end^ J Barker is now speaking he is more pointed and concise than most Speakers Mrs Rose about the ^same^ time J Barker did but gain way he is suming [sic] up surprisingly he is the most ready quoter of Scripture I ever heard as also of other writings he is a host of himself and it is not poss sible [sic] that all can speak as thy [sic] would like to in a four days meeting or Convention J B has been so interesting that he has been granted more time [Continues at bottom of page with line beginning "than 40 minutes"] [Text halfway down page in center, written upwards] Isaac Post for Amy Post Rochester NY [Text halfway down page against right edge, written upwards] It is awfull [sic] to hear J Bto depict the evils that the Bible inculcates and its advocates and none canGgainsay [Text normal] than 40 minutes he is now summing up the contradictory passages of Scriptues and now the Bible the contradicts the Sciences and much very much more then there are Contradi- ctions in regard to morrels [sic] - the people are looking with wonder - I suppose I must send this to night or it cannot go untill second day and I do not know that this will go untill [sic] second day but I will put this in the office after meeting and shall not send any more untill [sic] after meeting perhaps from N York [Continues upwards into right margin] Affectionately Isaac

(Page 1)<br /><br /> 7th day evening<br /> Our [ministers?] not being present - Mr Butler offered<br /> a string of resolutions beautifull [sic] and perhaps a little<br /> softer than some others that have been offered by oth-<br /> ers - People came crouding [sic] in the Idea of the inhabitants<br /> is it is a honorable thing to have a meeting of this kind<br /> held in this beautifull [sic] City the people have been warned<br /> by their ministers not to attend and their prayers<br /> and meetings have ^been^ unusual during this convention<br /> the people continue crouding [sic] in - I went with L & Sarah<br /> Burtis at a Mr Donaldson he said many di [sic] not wish<br /> to be seen comeing [sic] in and therefore wait untill [sic]<br /> darkness hides their footsteps but it looks now as<br /> tho many will have to remain outside it they want<br /> that time. while I have been writing the above<br /> one who professes to be answering Garrison and he is<br /> to have his hour the same length of time he had to<br /> talk - [Jenner?] is his name he has good qualities he<br /> keeps his temper under good controll [sic] but I do not<br /> think he should not be considered a supporter of the<br /> Bible in its full power for he does not claim to<br /> sustain every thing as it is - I think he is ^to [sic]^ small<br /> game to stop the flow of eloquence that is damed [sic]<br /> up waiting for utterence [sic] in persons I know<br /> not how many - Mrs Rose is to be the next sp-<br /> eaker and I doubt not she sets as uneasy as<br /> when Mrs Brown was speaking at Syracuse<br /> I wish to turn again to barker speach [sic] this afternoon<br /> I believe he spoke 2 hours and such a stream of<br /> eloquent research <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">as</span> was porard [sic] out I presume<br /> was never listened to on the same subject it<br /> seems he has been a preacher and must have<br /> been untireing [sic] in his researches in all the works<br /> on these subjects P Pillsburgy says Niaggary [sic]falls<br /> does not equal it is the wonder of our wisest<br /> those sitting back began to shew sings [sic] of [illegible] but<br /> all is again quiet many stand while our frnd seems<br /> to be talking against time I pity them but I suppose<br /> the time must be given up to him C Davis has been in<br /> so interested that she has attended the three last meetings not<br /> withstanding the rains last evening she is here thus she <br /> rides frm [sic] they do not have very near their place<br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> Mrs Rose has the stand and has spoken for some<br /> time with less energy than I have heard she before a<br /> proposition was made to allow those to retire who wishd [sic]<br /> there having been some ill manners manifested when all at<br /> once the lights went out a one except a few gli-<br /> mering [sic] away at the back part of the house it [occationed?]<br /> considerable excitement but the frnd in the for-<br /> ward part of the house [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">pr</span>?] kept quiet or rather no<br /> great alarm was manfested [sic] but I find a Lady laid hold<br /> of my arm gently after some minutes of the light<br /> or the Gas was thrown off ^on and it appeared that<br /> but few had retired many still stand in the passage<br /> altho now near 10 oclock she is speaking still but<br /> her Soul does not seem as much warmed as some times and<br /> the roudy [sic] Spirit, seems to be overpowng [sic]- - - -<br /> First day morning the meeting broke up in diso-<br /> rder that is then then was as much noise she could not<br /> be heard over Friends seem full ^of^ courage to think the<br /> defenders of the Bible find it necessary to resort to such menes [sic]<br /> to put down free discussion - I called on Mrs Mitten<br /> this morning she seems a very interesting woma<br /> but I had but a little time with her for they set up so<br /> late that she had her breakfast to eat near meeting time<br /> I found Mr Rolfe there he seems happy and talkative<br /> but says his [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">does</span>] wife has been clear of and calls all<br /> deception &c at meeting and after some discussion<br /> who shall speak a Mr Cummings is now speak-<br /> ing in defence of the Scriptures he seems a kind of<br /> shutered [sic] Spiritualist and I am glad he claims to<br /> be speaking in defense of the Scriptures and therefor<br /> A J Davis is to speak next so that there is<br /> gratifycation [sic] in anticipation to be enjoyed very<br /> soon is before us now Davis arrives And great<br /> has been the treat and I am glad that the same will<br /> be published for <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">to</span> all to peruse and I believe it will be<br /> unanswerable it is not nearly adjourning time<br /> the subject now is when this [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">subj</span>] meeting<br /> adjourns finally it will do so untill [sic] the 4<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><sup>th </sup></span>of [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">the</span>?]<br /> January next which subject is laid before<br /> the meeting to be decided at the conclusion -<br /> now that subject who of the advocates of the Bible<br /> will speak for ore [sic] cannot trust another they <br /> differeing from each other and none ever sustain the ^Bible without qualification^<br /><br /> (Page 3)<br /><br /> Garrison is now giving some [thrusts?]<br /> to those who claim not only half of the time but wish<br /> to monopolise the time ^&^ not allow those who wish to [hear?]<br /> there [sic] testimony in favor of the Bible because they believe<br /> it differently from themselves - Adjourned to ¼ past 2<br /> We are now listening to Stors who has 2 hours <br /> to talk - he is now Saying the Bible reveals not-<br /> hing in suport [sic] of a future life I may as well<br /> now write about something seperate [sic] from the<br /> Speaker We have had a law now [unrepealed?]<br /> makeing [sic] us liable to imprisonment for call<br /> ing in question either the Holy Trinity<br /> or the Scriptures and it is supposed that<br /> many feel sufficient [illegible] to put the<br /> law in force but I believe none of us fear<br /> and I supose [sic] for the reason in part at least<br /> that we do not think we are much danger<br /> I will here say it was good to set so as to look<br /> countenance and earnest attention as Davis <br /> gently yet forcibly pored [sic] forth his eloquence<br /> his address was written, his head seemed to nod<br /> assent and involuntary approbation very often<br /> and P Pilsbury to [sic] seemed in his Glory<br /> with which Barker joined and I saw<br /> H C Wright poke his ^hand^ forward against<br /> Garrisons back as tho he could not<br /> keep his joys to himself but desired<br /> others to rejoice with him while Davis<br /><br /> (Page 4)<br /><br /> was giving the deplorible [sic] slavery in which<br /> Popery hates its advocates and that Protest<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">ant</span> <br /> entism [sic] is no better the one worshiping [sic]<br /> a pope and the other a Bible he wished<br /> to worship [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">truth</span>?] the truth which exis-<br /> ted before the Bible was written now<br /> Turner is speaking for Stors felt to [sic] weary<br /> to continue his two hours and as he is<br /> a good [ obliterated ] I will let him<br /> go on without remaking [sic] about what he says<br /> unless he happens to blunder upon som-<br /> ething striking - I suppose at this time<br /> our Friends at Waterloo are haveing [sic] a better<br /> time than me, at least I would gladly spend<br /> the next hour there rather than <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">another</span> <br /> here or at our little Spirit Meeting at home<br /> or spend the time this man speaks with thee<br /> now he is speaking of being a womans rights<br /> man and the Bible is her frend [sic] and tells how<br /> she should be loved &c There is a very large au-<br /> dience present now and what a pity that<br /> they must be fed with husks only while<br /> there ^is^ and abundance waiting ^s^tarving those<br /> who have upon keeping to be handed out<br /> to the multitude and who are anxious<br /> for the treat but a little more patience<br /> and there will be a change but I do not <br /> know who the favor will fall upon but<br /> I presume it will be Mrs Rose and she is<br /> so full of vengeance against the Bible<br /> that I love to hear others speak on the subject ^better^<br />

he did not speak quite<br /> as long as usual when he obseved [sic] or the Spirit that<br /> spoke that he would give place for other - the Dr had<br /> been for some time in the superior condition<br /> and he broke forth in his most powerfull [sic]<br /> [strain?] declareing [sic] himself to be A Pope he spoke<br /> of the prophecy of the old heavens & Earth passing<br /> away and <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">a</span> new takeing [sic] there [sic] places the time<br /> has already arrived when the heavens and earth<br /> were united so that those in one state converse<br /> with those of the other & we declare unto you<br /> that greater truths where [sic] never uttered than<br /> we have heard this evening alluding to<br /> what Hammond had said or words to that<br /> import I greatly wished that his speach [sic] <br /> might have been taken down and supposed that<br /> our ready writer could do it but he failed<br /> he said afterwards that his attention was so abs-<br /> orbed with the subject that he could not keep his<br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> attention on his work I do not see that he can<br /> write very much faster than I can it was<br /> a wonderfull [sic] speach [sic] he quoted some of his<br /> poetry and amongst other that which he still<br /> considered characteristic - Glows in the sun<br /> &c and when he ceased to speak he bid us good<br /> night then Wills spoke and so well that the<br /> Dr fell back into the inner state and sometimes<br /> what he said showing that he spoke from Spirit<br /> influence I thought the Dr felt happy more<br /> so than for some time past _ This evening L & S _<br /> Burtis Burrows the Dr and wife [Bradfiel?] & wife and<br /> 4 strangers one man & three women came and<br /> sat with we did not get acquainted with them<br /> we set down and the Dr very soon was<br /> A Pope again and I should have been glad<br /> to have had 10,000 people heard him he spoke<br /> of the necessity becoming simple and acting<br /> natural which of you dare act without<br /> the fear of man reformation should begin<br /> with each individual &c he spoke of the<br /> great advancements that had been made<br /> and spoke of greater a head urged to faithfully<br /> utter what we find to be true regardless<br /> of consequences for great was the necessity <br /> of carrying out our convictions of right it<br /> seemed better than we deseved [sic] after he concluded<br /> or as he concluded he bid us good night very<br /> gracefully - after sitting a short time Sarah Burtis<br /> gave some very good advice said the room<br /><br /> (Page 3)<br /><br /> seemed filed [sic] with or ^we wer [sic]^ encircled with many [sic] of our <br /> kindred Spirits as well as some who were not<br /> related who were drawn to our society by affinity<br /> she gave very good advice then the Spirit streig-<br /> htened [sic] her and she awoke -

Not one word from George Willets<br /> since last first day his family are very<br /> anxious to hear Channing has appointed a meeting<br /> at Corinthan [sic] Hall for this evening but it is so rainy<br /> I presume there will be but few there and perhaps<br /> they will not light up I hope not I think it a<br /> misjudged appointment for without Douglass as he<br /> had last first day evening I think he could not<br /> draw a full house in a pleasent [sic] evening, and<br /> I do not see how he can expect to gain many<br /> hearers when his own meetings ar [sic] so very small<br /> Mrs Coleman was ther [sic] last first day morning<br /> and she said there was not as many as attended our<br /> our [sic] Meeting in the afternoon<br /> have been to Olens this evening have had a good time<br /> Dr [Hanable?] was Pope again _ Soule was then with a very<br /> ^to morrow morng [sic]^<br /> hard Cough he first pointed his finger at him and said get<br /> one ounce of white Turnip pulverised put with 3<br /> of honey then take four table spoon [parts?] of warm<br /> milk put in one teaspoonfull of the medicine and take<br /> four times day or you will soon be with us - he<br /> then when [sic] on and spoke of the truth he uttered that<br /> the proper study of Man is man, spoke of the necess-<br /> ity of being free beautifully he had two spels [sic] of<br /> talking and when he awoke Burrows had consid<br /> erable to say which the Dr had the opportunity of hearing<br /> which I was glad off [sic] as he was much pleased with<br /> what he said it passed of [sic] very agreeably and he<br /> whent [sic] home feeling happy altho he had spoken the<br /> evening in my hearing.

Not one word from George Willets since last first day his family are very anxious to hear Channing has appointed a meeting at Corinthan [sic] Hall for this evening but it is so rainy I presume there will be but few there and perhaps they will not light up I hope not I think it a misjudged appointment for without Douglass as he had last first day evening I think he could not draw a full house in a pleasent [sic] evening, and I do not see how he can expect to gain many hearers when his own meetings ar [sic] so very small Mrs Coleman was ther [sic] last first day morning and she said there was not as many as attended our our [sic] Meeting in the afternoon have been to Olens this evening have had a good time Dr [Hanable?] was Pope again _ Soule was then with a very ^to morrow morng [sic]^ hard Cough he first pointed his finger at him and said get one ounce of white Turnip pulverised put with 3 of honey then take four table spoon [parts?] of warm milk put in one teaspoonfull of the medicine and take four times day or you will soon be with us - he then when [sic] on and spoke of the truth he uttered that the proper study of Man is man, spoke of the necess- ity of being free beautifully he had two spels [sic] of talking and when he awoke Burrows had consid erable to say which the Dr had the opportunity of hearing which I was glad off [sic] as he was much pleased with what he said it passed of [sic] very agreeably and he whent [sic] home feeling happy altho he had spoken the evening in my hearing.

Please tell me where<br /> Dr [Massey?]s rooms are if I should run<br /> a way it may be it will suit me<br /> to call on him to leave my things while<br /> I go to meeting tho that will depend upon<br /> where I arrive I mean which rout [sic]<br /> I take &c Willie went up to Curtis yester<br /> morning [Tigar?] had a fit while there<br /> and died & I believe he gave him as hono-<br /> rable a burial as he knew how to dug<br /> a hole and laid a grassy sod under and<br /> over him then filled up the grove &c &c<br /> He appear to stand the loss of his Friend<br /> and bedfellow Philosophically.

Aldridge Calvin was buried last third day died at Utica I have not heard the particulars of his death he was brought here had a meeting at the meeting house Sunderland was there and I expect he thought he was much favored he appeared to think so at any rate but how senseless much of his stuff appeared it was wonderful that he could run on so flipently [sic] and talk about being being [sic] reunited to god and Christ just as tho he knows something about ^it^ and as tho that was the great desighn [sic] of mans creation to flatter them and &c. When will men learn that the only thing to fear is that it themselves ^are not properly^ that should be cared for and if they do this all that is above will be satisfied that the great buisness [sic] of life is to progress our selves if we improve by every opportunity the Great Spirit will be gratified the lesser ones our our [sic] attendant Spirit companions will rejoice and we will be as happy as can be under the circumstances in which we are placed. To keep an even mind is the great thing necessary if we can do this we are prepared for any thing that may cross our ^path^ if we do this we are prepared to examine any subject we are prepared to meet opp- osition yes and if we can continue in this state of mind we must overcome all our enemies, in this state of mind anger leaves for there is no place for it. but there is a larger place for love which will increase untill [sic] we are astonished at the beauties that surround us and which were unperceived until our minds are prepared to receive them unspe- akable is the enjoyment of these even minds The [sic] did not direct where to direct our letters I believe I will send this to Joseph. Mr E[tersen?] was in just now he says Emily has retired and she still has wonderfull [sic] manifestations sais [sic] he is agoing to invite me there some evening after they move I hope thee is having a good time thy Isaac

<p> </p>
<p> Philadelphia 12 mo 25 1822</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dear Sister</p>
<p> </p>
<p> I had been contemplating about writing ^last evening^</p>
<p>to some of you when I receivd [sic] thine & Amey’s [sic] letter &</p>
<p>also one from Lydia. We are now on the brink of leaving</p>
<p>this place, we have visited the families in Green Street M M</p>
<p>^consisting of upwards 130 families^</p>
<p>except three or four greatly to our satisfaction as also</p>
<p>to those visited which was abundantly expresst [sic] in the Monthly</p>
<p>Meetg there was frequently applications for permission for</p>
<p>those who were not members to vit [visit?] with us, as also some friendly</p>
<p>persons requested their families might be favour’d with a visit, which</p>
<p>was in a few instances granted. I do not know when we should have</p>
<p>got through, if all had been visited where it had appeard [sic] to be</p>
<p>desirable But after getting through this Meetg [sic] C felt himself</p>
<p>releast [sic] from attending the other at present which many appeard [sic]</p>
<p>to regret we attended their Monthly Meetg yesterday in which C</p>
<p>was drawn out largely in testimony, & likewise in the Mg for</p>
<p>dicipline [sic] in which he very feelingly addresst [sic] the youth as the</p>
<p>concerns of society must shortly fall on them, he drew a very hand-</p>
<p>some comparrison [sic] respecting Israel, being ^invaded^ by an enemy as mentiond [sic]</p>
<p>in the case of Deaborough [sic] in which the young men were to go fourth [sic]</p>
<p>to drive off the enemy, under the command of the King, & it was necess</p>
<p>ary they should wear the livery of the King otherwise they could not be</p>
<p>known from the enemy. But the Midianitish spirit had enterd [sic]</p>
<p>amongst us & stript [sic] our youth of their ornaments and in treating</p>
<p>on this subject he said Ruben [sic] the eldest who ought to be first</p>
<p>did not turn out to battle, which afterward occasiond [sic] great</p>
<p>searching of heart in Ruben [sic]. We likewise had a Mg last</p>
<p>evening for the colored people of which we have had divers [sic]</p>
<p>since we have been out The Meetings in this City ^have^ been very</p>
<p>large there would be great inquiry where C would be, the houses would</p>
<p>be filld [sic] before the times so that it was dificut [sic] to get in, tho the</p>
<p>people would endeavour to make way for us & evenings our friend</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(Page 2)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>C is here there would be a great collection last 2 day night</p>
<p>it was thought there was about 100 they appear to manifest</p>
<p>the greatest affection, among others came a priest that had</p>
<p>been at one of our Meetgs, it appear’d he had become uneasy with</p>
<p>their doctrines & practices & as he could not concientously [sic] comply</p>
<p>is now leaving the episcopal Church, & as he expresst [sic] had sacrificed</p>
<p>his means for a living and exposed himself to the scorn and sensure [sic]</p>
<p>of the people, he however said he felt great ^peace^ of mind C spoke</p>
<p>very encouraging to him & told him if he kept to that which</p>
<p>had begun the work he would be favoured to see more & more</p>
<p>It appeard [sic] he had been preaching in one of the churches in this</p>
<p>City about 4 years & from his own account he had been rather a</p>
<p>seeking man his parents were R Catholics he is about 29 years</p>
<p>of age Another a Merchant has been here twice to see C But</p>
<p>was so broken into tenderness could say hardly any thing for a</p>
<p>considerable time <em> </em>I conclude you have heard of</p>
<p>Thomas Eddy’s letter and of the opposition met with in endeav-</p>
<p>ouring to defeat C service in this City they are those who con-</p>
<p>sider themselves leaders in Society. But they appear to have</p>
<p>lost their influence, which I conclude is a mortification to</p>
<p>them we have heard nothing from them for several days</p>
<p>a great Interest is manifest for C support some say he has</p>
<p>nearly a 100 to 1 The Meetings are all laid out for</p>
<p>this week to day [sic] at Frankford [sic] tomorrow at Germantown next</p>
<p>at Abington and so on & first day at Roxbury, we have been</p>
<p>favourd [sic] with the company of John Coneley & others from the</p>
<p>country very agreeably we are [obliterated] seting [sic] our faces home-</p>
<p>ward & shall probably be there in two or three weeks I wish</p>
<p>you to show this to my family as it will save me from writing</p>
<p>to them as I am short of time C Bach got much better I</p>
<p>cannot omit to mention the kindness of S K Fisher in devoting his</p>
<p>carriage horses and man wholly at our service as it has been difficult</p>
<p>for C to walk Elias [?] desires his love to you in [which?] I join</p>
<p>yours &c David Seaman</p>
<p> if our next letters are directed</p>
<p> to Burlington perhaps we may be there in about 8 or 10 day [sic]</p>
