Source Description
In the postscript, Sarah Moore Grimké suggests that a short address to children be prepared to be issued by the convention for juveniles in the anti-slavery movement, and that "some mother in Boston do this before we meet." / Sarah Moore Grimké sends her condolences regarding the passing of Ann Green Chapman. Grimké's religious faith enables her to rejoice when she hears "another blest spirit has been disenthralled & been permitted to enter that new Jerusalem after which my own soul so earnestly pants, ..." Grimké has felt that the loss of the "valued & efficient labors of our sister I have felt as if it were a demand up on by Omnipotence himself to double our diligence." Grimké exhorts Anne Warren Weston to come to the convention, emphasizing religious consecration. Grimké considers the national convention a step of great importance, hopes for the presence of colored women from Boston, and tells of a plan to collect specimens of work (painting, composition, and writing) from colored schools for exhibition. Also, the contribution of articles for sale has been proposed. The Philadelphia society expects to send colored delegates.
