Dr. Farlin: Dear Sir- On Jan. 21st last you spoke to me, in Lockport, N.Y., about my delivering the Mound Builders lecture before your Scientific Society in Rochester. I will pass through Rochester between Nov. 1st & 10th. If that time will do, and if you will furnish Ox- ygen touch [sic] with 75 pres- sure or more, I will de- liver the lecture for $15 and hotel expenses. I use now the calcium light, but can use elec- tricity where they have it, or even oil. Name the evenings between above dates that will not do, and I will try to arrange accordingly, and give you my best date. Let me hear from you on or before Oct. 1st. Yours respectfully, J.P.

I have never heard a word<br /> to the disparagement of either of them, and I do<br /> not think you could do better than to let them<br /> have it. They <span style="text-decoration:underline;">ought</span> to have the monopoly of<br /> it for some time, if they <span style="text-decoration:underline;">stereotype</span> it, because<br /> that process involves considerable expense,<br /> and if you changed publishers, their plates<br /> would be worth nothing to them.

On your part, I have agreed that they may publish it for five years on those terms, and that you will not print any abridgement, or altered copy, meanwhile. I have no reason whatever to think that Thayer & Eldridge are likely to fail. I merely made the suggestion because they were beginners. However, several of theoldest bookselling firms have failed within the last three years; mine among the rest. We must run for luck in these matters. I have promised to correct the proof sheets, and I don't think it would be of any use to the book to have you here at this time. They say they shall get it out by the 1'st of Nov.

Annotations
In this letter to Amy Post, Charles D.B. Mills speaks of the 1859 Friends of Human Progress <a href="http://library.buffalo.edu/archives/exhibits/old/urr/PDFs/Collins.pdf">meeting</a>, an event that took place annually in Waterloo, N.Y. in the late 1850s and early 1860s. The Friends appear to have continued meeting in various locations until the early twentieth century. According to a <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=9PE5AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA52&lpg=PA52&dq=charles+d.+b.+mills+amy+post&source=bl&ots=jfxBV7uVf_&sig=5QXuKS5VXJ7NvoqhvQfome8-FvY&hl=en&sa=X&ei=bTBsUtLEE8GqkAeey4GoAQ&ved=0CEwQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=charles%20d.%20b.%20mills%20amy%20post&f=false">letter</a> by one Phebe M. Dean, published in the 13<sup>th</sup> volume of the <em>Free Thought Magazine</em> (January to December, 1895), the Friends initially went by the name of “Congregational Friends,” but later changed their group’s name to “Friends of Human Progress” because non-Quakers also belonged to the group. The group supported a wide variety of progressive political and social beliefs, including abolitionism, women’s rights, free speech, personal responsibility, and human rights. Dean describes Mills, a resident of Syracuse, as “widely known among scholars” and “a steadfast friend and earnest worker in the good cause.” Dean also reports that Amy and Isaac Post belonged to the Friends of Human Progress – a claim that this letter substantiates.<br /><br /> Mills’s <a href="http://womenwriters.library.emory.edu/abolition/content.php?level=div&id=advocate1_424&document=advocate1&&running-header=on">wife</a> also moved in progressive circles; she was a member of the Onondaga County Equal Rights Association and a peer of the famous Syracuse progressive, Reverend Samuel J. May. Charles Mills belonged to May’s denomination, the Unitarian Congregational Society of Syracuse, and worshipped at May’s church, the Church of the Messiah. Mills <a href="http://docsouth.unc.edu/neh/maysamuel/maysamuel.html">spoke</a> at May’s funeral service in 1871, indicating that Mills was actively involved in the administration of his community’s religious life.<br /><br /> This letter serves as a reminder of the many progressive and radical publications in 19<sup>th</sup>-century America, particularly in New York State’s Burned-Over District. The publisher “Becker” probably is a reference to Auburn publisher P.J. Becker, who <a href="http://library.buffalo.edu/archives/exhibits/old/urr/PDFs/Junius.pdf">printed</a> the proceedings of the Friends’ 1858 meeting in Waterloo. The “Pa. Proceedings” may refer to the <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=r9EYAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA1-PA109&lpg=RA1-PA109&dq=pa.+proceedings+charles+d.b.+mills&source=bl&ots=dqbmK2B86q&sig=02vOOPEZ-Pw_79WFZnZlv4H86Kg&hl=en&sa=X&ei=e59sUqinIcaqkAfgsYEI&ved=0CCkQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=pa.%20proceedings%20charles%20d.b.%20mills&f=false">Pennsylvania Meeting of Progressive Friends</a>, an annual assembly of which Mills became presiding clerk from 1878 to 1884, and where Mills often gave speeches.<br /><br /> Another <a href="http://rclomeka.lib.rochester.edu/omeka_upgrade/items/show/484">letter</a> by Mills, addressed to Susan B. Anthony, is in the Post Family Papers Collection and available online. The letter reveals Mills’s support for abolitionism.

They remain subject to your order. I send you herewith a prospectus of a New Book of A.J. Davis 's and would be pleased to receive your order for the work. Yours, truly Bela Marsh

We have <br /> taken extra pains to have <br /> ours nice and expect to get <br /> 20 cents for them here, which <br /> is the price our neighbor <br /> [Bawdish?] asks for his; <br /> they do not pay any too <br /> well at that. Please <br /> compare them with the <br /> scorched & dirty looking <br /> fruit you buy in the <br /> Rochester groceries, & inform<br /> me if the price is too high. <br /> I believe Dorcas is going <br /> to put in two or 3 lbs. <br /> of the unskinned ones <br /> especially for you. <br /> If you will be so kind <br /> as to take up a note <br /> which Isaac Post holds <br /> against me, you will <br /> oblige your friend <br /> H.

You will find us all ready ^and happy^ to receive <br /> you. We arrived as Edmund thought thirday [sic] morning <br /> that eve went to A Willets where I remained untill [sic] fifth<br /> day morning then came home and commenced arranging<br /> things in our rooms such a [sic] making carpets unpacking trunks<br /> and &c, have got through the principle [sic] part and feel verry [sic] nicely<br /> and pleasantly fixed, have receive [sic] only four calls or visit they<br /> John Marsh and Rebecca about a week ago, and Abraham<br /> and Henrietta seventh day last spent the evening verry [sic] pleas<br /> antly H says she wishes my mother could see how nice I <br /> am fixed it would be such a satisfaction to her. I received<br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> a letter from sister Elizabeth written the day after we left<br /> contained but little news but expressions of loneliness after<br /> our departure said Isaac and Mary F Hicks prevented<br /> James and her from going to Jericho that day. I suppose E.<br /> has told you that he and James Mott did not attend our<br /> wedding. Except that nothing occured [sic] to cause an unpleasant<br /> reflection [obliterated] but when I see thee I will tell all<br /> about it I want to see thee so much that writing is no<br /> satisfaction therefore we must let a little suffice on my side<br /><br /> [Rest of Page 2 is letter # 515 by Jeffries Hallowell.]</p>

Dear Sister I have been trying to persuade Jeffries to write but he says he has put it off so long he is ashamed to commence and I think as you are expecting us you are entitled to be informed that unless you come here you will not have the pleasure of seeing us verry [sic] soon, certainly not untill [sic] the boat arrives and is on its way to Albany again which will be probably this week, then I hope the travelling and other things will favour us for I feel in something of a hurry to see you but J is so busy he feels almost as if he could not leave and thinks that you may just as well come here as not and better than for us to go there I hope you will start off as soon as you get this for I dont know when we shall get there. You will find us all ready ^and happy^ to receive you. We arrived as Edmund thought thirday [sic] morning that eve went to A Willets where I remained untill [sic] fifth day morning then came home and commenced arranging things in our rooms such a [sic] making carpets unpacking trunks and &c, have got through the principle [sic] part and feel verry [sic] nicely and pleasantly fixed, have receive [sic] only four calls or visit they John Marsh and Rebecca about a week ago, and Abraham and Henrietta seventh day last spent the evening verry [sic] pleas antly H says she wishes my mother could see how nice I am fixed it would be such a satisfaction to her. I received a letter from sister Elizabeth written the day after we left contained but little news but expressions of loneliness after our departure said Isaac and Mary F Hicks prevented James and her from going to Jericho that day. I suppose E. has told you that he and James Mott did not attend our wedding. Except that nothing occured [sic] to cause an unpleasant reflection [obliterated] but when I see thee I will tell all about it I want to see thee so much that writing is no satisfaction therefore we must let a little suffice on my side [Rest of Page 2 is letter # 515 by Jeffries Hallowell.]

(Page 1)<br /> St Clair<br /> Mish [sic]<br /> My very dear friend<br /> I should have writen [sic] sooner but was prevented <br /> by sickness, and now I have so much to say I do’nt [sic] now [sic] where<br /> to begin – Just let me inquire after your health and that<br /> of all the kind friends in Rochester, health is the most important<br /> of all, lose that and you ^lose^ all pleasure is then impossible to us,<br /> therefore I hope you are all well, Those little slips of writing which<br /> you gave me at parting were useless, but the Letter to [W?] Willey<br /> at Avon was accepted tho’ reluctantly., It was all lost time in<br /> Avon, as also at Bing Hamton [sic], except that I enjoyed a pleasant<br /> visit with the friends to whom I was introduced. I met there<br /> a Doctor Elles and his lady who gave me an introductory <br /> -letter to Mrs Bishop in New York, she is the daughter of<br /> Mrs Collings, a very sweet person with whome [sic] I was quite at<br /> -home during my short stay in that city – The publisher in<br /> New York thought my Book altogether too liberal therefore<br /> declined accepting on any terms, one gentleman told me<br /> that my doctrines were dangerous, . – I did not visit <br /> Granaelle, it would not pay, “as I had not the money<br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> to pay with so I burried [sic] on to Boston I do not<br /> know how I should have managed to meet my expences [sic]<br /> had I not the good fortune to meet a gentleman in <br /> Boston who invited me to speak in Marble Head<br /> that just saved me, tho’ they paid but two dollars for two<br /> lectures, very low but they paid no more to Do Child<br /> and others so I was obliged to be satisfied or seem so<br /> it was better than nothing – Oh dear, I wish I could<br /> see you I could talk so much faster than I can write <br /> and so much more to the purpose, it is too bad that<br /> we should be always far away from those we love<br /> the best ; I need your advice so much especially <br /> with regard to my Book – “I will lay the case before you,”<br /> my mannscript [sic] is in Boston, but it might as well be<br /> in the Cave of the Winds; Mr White it a very good<br /> work but he or they cannot undertake to publish it,<br /> they cannot spare the funds, they need more to carry<br /> on their paper as they would wish – The tale would be<br /> too long and too expensive to publish in the Banner of –<br /><br /><br /> (Page 3)<br /><br /> - light, and thay [sic] have now more matter sent them than they<br /> can use, still they think the Book would be a success, thinks<br /> that they could sell a great many, they would be pleased to [bring?]<br /> it out, but it seems that I shall have to find funds, The Book would<br /> print full 500 and 50 pages so sayes [sic] Mr White and would cost<br /> between 7-and 800 Dollar to publish an addition of 1000 [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">illegible</span>]<br /> -coppies [sic] of [26?] each which would pay if I could accomplish it<br /> Mr White told me that they would put it into print if I could<br /> advance 500 $ and wait or take Books for the remainder <br /> but how is that to be done, there would be no difficulty in<br /> disposing of the Books as I should [canvas?] them myself and<br /> I have already subscribers numbering 120ty [sic] I feel sure<br /> that if I could borrow the money for a short time I should<br /> soon return it. – Oh Mrs Pasle if I could or you could see<br /> Mr James for a few moments, I would not ask him to give <br /> me a Dollar but I would ask him to lend me the money to<br /> place in Mr White’s hand and he would refund it as the<br /> Books were sold I would not touch a cent until all was<br /> paid, I have almost as many ordered as would pay the<br /><br /> (Page 4)<br /><br /> five hundred Dollars advanced, all the favor I would <br /> ask of Mr [sic] James or anyone who could oblige would be<br /> to lend me the money for one year , I would sell all<br /> the first addition in that time I believe just by<br /> reading extracts from the Book – do’nt [sic] you think so<br /> too; you have read quite a large portion of the work<br /> therefore you can judge for yourself – <br /> Dear Sister Amy pleas [sic] do write and advise <br /> what I shall do, does it not seem a pity, when we know <br /> that the Book would sell so well be prevented for<br /> so small a sum need when so many have more than<br /> they can use, besides what a help it would be to me<br /> the residue of the Books after the expenses were all<br /> paid – and perhaps it would run into a second<br /> addition which would not cost half as much as the<br /> plates would be mine to print from – but I shall<br /> tire you with my grievances please pardon me, and<br /> to prove that you are not offended write me a long –<br /> letter, and help me if you can; love to all. thine ever truely [sic]<br /> Mattie GV Smith<br />

St Clair Mish [sic] My very dear friend I should have writen [sic] sooner but was prevented by sickness, and now I have so much to say I do'nt [sic] now [sic] where to begin - Just let me inquire after your health and that of all the kind friends in Rochester, health is the most important of all, lose that and you ^lose^ all pleasure is then impossible to us, therefore I hope you are all well, Those little slips of writing which you gave me at parting were useless, but the Letter to [W?] Willey at Avon was accepted tho' reluctantly., It was all lost time in Avon, as also at Bing Hamton [sic], except that I enjoyed a pleasant visit with the friends to whom I was introduced. I met there a Doctor Elles and his lady who gave me an introductory -letter to Mrs Bishop in New York, she is the daughter of Mrs Collings, a very sweet person with whome [sic] I was quite at -home during my short stay in that city - The publisher in New York thought my Book altogether too liberal therefore declined accepting on any terms, one gentleman told me that my doctrines were dangerous, . - I did not visit Granaelle, it would not pay, "as I had not the money to pay with so I burried [sic] on to Boston I do not know how I should have managed to meet my expences [sic] had I not the good fortune to meet a gentleman in Boston who invited me to speak in Marble Head that just saved me, tho' they paid but two dollars for two lectures, very low but they paid no more to Do Child and others so I was obliged to be satisfied or seem so it was better than nothing - Oh dear, I wish I could see you I could talk so much faster than I can write and so much more to the purpose, it is too bad that we should be always far away from those we love the best ; I need your advice so much especially with regard to my Book - "I will lay the case before you," my mannscript [sic] is in Boston, but it might as well be in the Cave of the Winds; Mr White it a very good work but he or they cannot undertake to publish it, they cannot spare the funds, they need more to carry on their paper as they would wish - The tale would be too long and too expensive to publish in the Banner of - - light, and thay [sic] have now more matter sent them than they can use, still they think the Book would be a success, thinks that they could sell a great many, they would be pleased to [bring?] it out, but it seems that I shall have to find funds, The Book would print full 500 and 50 pages so sayes [sic] Mr White and would cost between 7-and 800 Dollar to publish an addition of 1000 [illegible] -coppies [sic] of [26?] each which would pay if I could accomplish it Mr White told me that they would put it into print if I could advance 500 $ and wait or take Books for the remainder but how is that to be done, there would be no difficulty in disposing of the Books as I should [canvas?] them myself and I have already subscribers numbering 120ty [sic] I feel sure that if I could borrow the money for a short time I should soon return it. - Oh Mrs Pasle if I could or you could see Mr James for a few moments, I would not ask him to give me a Dollar but I would ask him to lend me the money to place in Mr White's hand and he would refund it as the Books were sold I would not touch a cent until all was paid, I have almost as many ordered as would pay the five hundred Dollars advanced, all the favor I would ask of Mr [sic] James or anyone who could oblige would be to lend me the money for one year, I would sell all the first addition in that time I believe just by reading extracts from the Book - do'nt [sic] you think so too; you have read quite a large portion of the work therefore you can judge for yourself - Dear Sister Amy pleas [sic] do write and advise what I shall do, does it not seem a pity, when we know that the Book would sell so well be prevented for so small a sum need when so many have more than they can use, besides what a help it would be to me the residue of the Books after the expenses were all paid - and perhaps it would run into a second addition which would not cost half as much as the plates would be mine to print from - but I shall tire you with my grievances please pardon me, and to prove that you are not offended write me a long - letter, and help me if you can; love to all. thine ever truely [sic] Mattie GV Smith
