Maria F. Price writes to Maria Weston Chapman thanking her for "the bundle" she sent her, including information on how George Thompson was doing. She writes that Henry C. Wright's arguments are "convincing and drawn from the Bible." She discusses Non-Resistant principles and doubts their applicability to school discipline. She asks if she should organize a sewing society or help out at the fair.
