Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Elizur Wright Jr. writes to Amos A. Phelps regarding the Woman question. He writes, "my faith and confidence in the 'evolutionary distinction' which has become the parent of another distinction...is so strong of itself, that, it hardly permits me to engage in any conservation measures." Truly I am a conservative in a certain source...I am opposed to hens crowing, and surely, as a general rule, to female preaching-but I think, partially, there is a little need of my conservation in the one case as the other. I am therefore disproved to give the women people all the rope they have a mind to take. Do they want to try the man's part? Let them try it, as many of them & as long as they please."
