Aaron M. Powell was a Quaker social reformer who helped found the American Purity Alliance. He writes that he has just learned from Mrs. Butler (probably Josephine Butler) about a conference that will be held in Brussels, Belgium, to consider measures in relation to the propagation of syphilis. He hopes that Jackson and her husband will attend the Executive Committee meeting of the American Purity Alliance, and asks if she and Mrs. Lowell (probably Josephine Shaw Lowell) can present an outline regarding legislation on the matter.
