Abstract:
Edward Hicks's bill for items purchased from Parrish, mostly relating to his alphabet blocks. Apologizes for not being able to sell more sets of alphabet blocks for Hicks, despite advertising in newspapers. Price gives details on some of Hicks's boxes of alphabet blocks. Notes on the Quaker Monthly Meeting, George F. White, and the "wild notions, which has distracted many of our friends." Religious reflections on suffering and grief. Bemoans a colleague's abolition sentiments, "for they only bind the chains more sorely upon the poor slave, & makes the Free coloured Man fly from many of the Slave States-- they are very far from being the real friends of the Bond Man." Brief notes on abolition societies' "splitting into parties & divisions, which will hurry them into oblivion."
