Lucinda Wilmarth writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to her difficulty in attending the anti-slavery fair in her town. She expresses indignation and sorrow for the course pursued by the executive committee of the American anti-slavery society, their sale of the "Emancipator," the proposed dissolution of the society, and she remarks, "they have resisted light & Truth until their moral vision is involved in Egyptian darkness & their consciences dead to all good impressions." She deprecates Joshua Leavitt. She has had little success in getting subscribers for the "Golden Rule."
