Friends Pennypacker,
I left in so much haste this morning
that I did not think to say any thing farther in relation
to funds and obtaining subscribers. I hope, if it
be possible, the friends of the cause will attend to
this work immediately. I wish to write our
Ex. Com. that they may send a larger number
of laborers into this field with an assurance that
they will be sustained. And alas that the anti
slavery publications are scattered far and wide.
Now is an auspicious season for anti slavery labor
inasmuch as the public mind is now in a state
of comparative quiet from the political excitement
which has abounded every thought. We must work
when our labors will count with increased energy.
Please write me a line at the time of the Phila
Meeting informing of your success in raising
Funds and attaining subscribers.
For humanity --
Abby Kelly --
