Sarah Pugh writes Richard D. Webb stating her agreement with William Lloyd Garrison on his position that the American Anti-Slavery Society ought to have been "dissolved into its original elements ready for new combinations" with the formal abolition of slavery, and asserts that "much scandal would have been avoided" had this course of action been pursued. Pugh states that Lucretia Mott is heading to New York in an "effort to bring together the two Woman Suffrage Societies" presently at odds.
