S.L. Little writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to thanking her for her critique and praise of her poem in the Liberator. She writes her views of Dr. [William Ellery] Channing and says, "do not think it is because I should not like to hear his religious views praised..but I do not like to hear him praised so much by abolitionists" because she is an abolitionist in a sense, which he is not. She comments on the errors of the church and says "the voice of the Spirit cries to the church in her inward soul to repent." She does not believe that a living Christian aboltionist can have church fellowship with a proslavery church. She sets forth her belief and explains her aversion to controversy because of extreme sensibility.
