    "description": "Eleanor A. Jewett writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to the circumstances which resulted in Jewett's drafting of resolutions passed by her female anti-slavery society in Byfield and published in the Liberator. The pro-slavery minister lectured the writer for hours on her improper conduct in the anti-slavery enterprise which prompted her to lay the matter before her society and to draft the resolutions. She approves of the plan for the weekly contributions \"but we must make a few more abolitionists before the plan can be prosecuted very systematically in Byfield.\" The society is too small and too poor to carry it out, and because they want more information, they have pledged to spend the money on lectures.",
