Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Thomas Walter Ward writes Amos A. Phelps discussing the meeting he has attended in which "the attention...has been drawn from the opper business of the society to wit, to free the Slave, and party feeling has been allowed to take the place of sound and sober argument in the slaves behalf..." He addresses the "woman question" as the cause for "divided our ranks." He questions his contribution upon accepting the Vice President of the society, stating that "I do not doubt the good of the cause was intended to be consulted, yet fear that in the peacing of my name among the vice presidents the interests of the society will not be so greatly promoted as they might be were a more efficient man in its council. Of this matter I shall leave you to judge." He intends to accept it if "the good on the Slave is at heart."
