I cannot get all the things out for five months at least as it is not possible to work in it now - About the bound vols of newspapers - They are large - (full size of newspapers) Being frank. I think it would be fatal to them to undertake a long journey - I would think the Liberator and the Herald of Freedom were on file in Boston. Are they not? For your advice in regard to other 2 items I thank you very much - I am not clear yet as to what is best to do. Of one thing I am clear; It is wrong to accumulate so many material things. I do long to be wise, and do what is best. I wish I could get in touch with some of Col. Shaw's relatives - Miss Lowell must be in Boston - or New York - The wife of Sen. Barlow as one of the daughters of Francis Shaw - Mrs. Geo. William Curtis was the eldest daughter. I am glad to know the biography of your mother is progressing I shall look forward to its completion. We are politically in disgrace in Ind - as far as the political situation goes 3 I do not see how we could be, politically worse. How I long to see "physical warfare" abolished. Moral warfare we must always have. The old-fashioned conscience of the early workers is undiscoverable at present, but I hope is not entirely dead. I have to remember the devoted "Reformers" that I used to see in our home - When a child. Every kind of devoted men & women all of them entrusted with - something which was to save the world; there are no such people about now, as far as i know. Dear Friend, I wish I might see you, but I cannot hope to unless you make the journey - But let me hear from you when possible and believe me, grateful for what you have done and are doing Your friend with abiding love Martha Micholson McKay Transcribed and reviewed by contributors participating in the By The People project at crowd.loc.gov.
