NAWSA     GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE 
Whipple, Charles K.

Boston, Jan 26th 1853

Dear Friend,
I might get more names to both documents in a longer time, but your word
"immediately" induce me to return the paper at once.  Go on to prosper. For the sake of your labor in so good a cause, I willingly acquiesce in your absence even from the  Anti Slavery meeting this morning.

Yours very truly
Chas. K. Whipple

Dear Madam,
Lucy Stone was quite right in [offering]
assuring you of my disposition
 to do the little I can in aid
of the Women's cause. I could
have done better for you with
earlier notice, since the meeting
places for anniversary week
are usually engaged months beforehand,
and all the best halls
thus monopolized. I have taken
for granted that you wish to
hold meetings in the morning, 
afternoon + evening of June 2d,

and the best hall I could
find at liberty for that day
was Cochituate Hall, Phillips'
Place, opposite of King's Chapel,
which I have engaged for you
at 13,00 for the day & eve.
   I hope this arrangement
will prove satisfactory, 
and am
    Yours respectfully,
    Chas K. Whipple.

Stoneham Friday eve. May 12th
Dear friend;
    I enclose Mr. Whipple's
reply to my note.  I thought of having
our place of meeting appended to the
ball but concluded to consult you
Shall I thank Mr. W. for the
trouble he has taken and assure
him of our satisfaction?  or will
you?  Any service I can give you
will be done cheerfully.
    Very truly your friend
    P Gerry

Charles K. Whipple, Esq.
Dear Sir:
I have the honor to inform you (since I believe you were not present) that at the meeting in Boston last Thursday "to consider the condition, wants, & prospects of Free  Religion in American," you were elected a Director of the "Free Religion Association" there formed.

Your name was selected not only from a

desire to have the benefits 
of your wisdom & experience 
on the  Committee, but from 
an assurance given by 
Rev.  J.L. Sargent & others 
that you could certainly 
be in full sympathy with 
the objects of the Association.
    The Constitution adopted is 
substantially the same that 
was presented at the conference 
as Dr. Barlot's last 
February.
    Hoping that we shall 
have the aid of you counsel 
at the meetings of the Board.
    I am, very truly yours,
    Wm. J. Potter
    Secretary

Oct. 10 - 1876

Dear Mr. Whipple, -
You know something about our proposed Convention on the Sunday question. It is thought if we have brief, compact essays each devoted to a simple print, the whole argument for free Sunday will be more effectively presented.
Now the Scriptural argument on the question - the delusion that finds the Jewish Sabbath in the New Testament - is at your penitence. You know all the texts pro & con. And can you not put this matter into shape for the Convention?

I imagine that you may 
shrink from appearing in 
a public speech, & so I will 
meet that objection with the 
suggestion that your paper, 
if you prefer, might be 
read by another.
    The ecclesiastical growth of 
late development of the Sunday 
institution in Christendom, the 
legal aspects of the question, the 
relation of Sunday to working 
men &c - will be presented 
in other papers.
    Can you suggest any 
desirable speakers on any
of these points? We would 
like to have Orthodox & Catholic 
if we can. How does Murrey 
stand on the question? And 
who would be a good man to

present facts on the Sunday
opening of Libraries & Art galleries
&c ?
    The Convention will
be held (probably) some day
in the last week of October.
    Yours most truly,
    W.J. Potter
