Letter from Lucretia Mott, Orange, N[ew] J[ersey], to Richard Davis Webb, 1871 [May] 4th
Lucretia Mott writes to Richard Davis Webb about the "radical pamphlets" he sent her, stating that she read them multiple times and showed them to others before sending them "to Professor Magill & other teachers at our Swarthmore College." She says that she agrees that the Scriptures "should not be read indiscriminately in schools or in any elementary training" and quotes Theodore Parker to express her "love [of] the Scriptures". Mott then comments on a letter she received from Sarah Pugh about Webb's home and she shares her wish that he "might come to Pennsylv[ania] for a permanency". She also mentions Pugh's telling "of the all too sudden passing from us of our loved Abby Kimber".
