CHAPTER IX
28/29

The heart sickens over the delusions of the recent campaign and turns achingly to the unconsidered _whole question_." The committee answered: "We put all New York into your control and want your name to all letters and your hand in all arrangements.

We like your form of posters; by all means let 'No Union with Slaveholders' be conspicuous upon them." An extract from a letter received from Mr.May, the secretary, dated October 22, shows the estimate placed upon her services by the committee: The Anti-Slavery Society wants you in the field.

I really think the efficiency and success of our operations in New York this winter will depend more on your personal attendance and direction than upon that of any other of our workers.

We need your earnestness, your practical talent, your energy and perseverance to make these conventions successful.

The public mind will be sore this winter, disappointment awaits vast numbers, dismay will overtake many.
