Abstract:
Expresses concern that if she settles in Tennessee "my children might want to go to texas . . . wher evry man is his own man and what he earns by labour is his..." Mentions the moderation of Ohio abolitionists, most of whom came from slave states; one could live in Ohio for a year and hear less than two hours of conversation on abolitionism. "I do thank God that . . . Abolitionists are not to Judge the world for I want to meet all my relations & friends in Heaven."
