Letter from Maria F. Price, Northborough, [Massachusetts], to Maria Weston Chapman, 1840 Jan[uary] 21
Description:
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. She mentions that she "became so obnoxious that a certain gentleman said he wished the Ladies would form a society by themselves as they would do more good." She discusses the division among local abolitionists in Northborough into the old and new organizations.
