Dear Friend May
Your letter with names and one dollar came duly - Thank you for all-
We, the League, are alive and planning a most vigorous prosecution of our war of ideas - not bullets and bayonets.
I have decided to go to Boston by Wednesday nights boat - and would like to meet the Anti-Slavery men and women of the Several Committees — the American Society- the Massachusetts, the Honey and Jackson - & as many not of those committees, as may be -on Friday morning at such hour as you think
Mrs. Stanton and I are writing several to be there, Angelina Grimpke, Mrs. Child and others - We must have concert of action-— in some one practical direction. The honest, earnest people of the country are asking what can we do to help save the Nation to freedom - the hour of adjustment - of reconstruction is coming, and it is our duty to educate the people to demand justice as the first- the chief corner stone —
I want to see you all together - Will you notify such of the friends as are earnest to be at work and can help point out the most efficient way -
I write Stephen and Abbey Foster-
If you know where Parker Pillsbury is will you please inform him-
All this seems presuming in me-but surely our Leagues aim and purpose cannot be understood or it would be more heartily responded to by the true and tried.
I am not after money, settle that point, but to
Truly yours,

Dear Friend May
Your letter with names and one dollar came duly-Thank you for all-
We, the League, are alive and planning a most vigorous prosecution of our war of ideas-not bullets and bayonets.
I have decided to go to Boston by Wednesday nights boat-and would like to meet so many of the Anti-Slavery men and women
of the Several Committees—the American Society- the Massachusetts, the Hovey and Jackson-and as many not of those committees, as may be-on Friday morning at such hour as you think the friends can be at the Anti Slavery Office—
Mrs. Stanton and I are writing several to be there, Angelina Grimpke, Mrs. Child and others - We must have concert of action-— in some one practical direction. The honest, earnest people of the country are asking what can we do to help save the Nation to freedom-the hour-of adjustment-of reconstruction is coming, I and it is our duty to educate the people to demand justice as the first- the chief corner stone —
I want to see you all together-will you notify such of the friends as are earnest to be at work and can help point out the most efficient way.
All the lecturing agents need to be of the circle too, they have felt the pulse of the people and will be able to advise as to ways and means.— But you know all the live workers in and out of the lecture field-and will I know dall them around the council board at 221 Wash. St.
I write Stephen and Abbey Foster-
If you know where Parker Pillsbury is will you please inform him-
All this seems presuming in me-but surely our Leagues aim and purpose cannot be understood or it would be more heartily responded to by the true and tried.
I am not after money settle that point, but to secure cooperation
Truly yours,
