Abstract:
Considering making a "more extended journey in the cause of Peace than I have ever taken," lasting nine months and covering New York, Ohio, and Philadelphia. Will need books to distribute, considering works by Jonathan Dymond, Thomas Hancock, and Samuel Whelpley. Notes the progress in "peace principles" and the impact of printed tracts on gaining adherents. Stresses the importance of supplying Sunday Schools with materials. Comments on John W. Shephard's Howard and Napoleon Contrasted and other printing matters, including the high demand for "peace books." Remarks on losing members on account of their use of the "gospel rule," which opponents call "our 'quaker principles.' " Includes a one page printed circular describing the American Peace Society's history, objects and means, recent successes, and call for aid in producing and distributing tracts.
