500 $aAbby Kelley Foster considers Maria Weston Chapman to be "a most terribly severe disciplinarian" in reference to George Bradburn and James N. Buffum. She suggests that Maria W. Chapman write to Buffum and make clear to him "that [Gerrit] Smith by endorsing New Organization is inflicting as deep an injury as St. Clair or Torrey ..." Abby Kelley Foster asserts that "some people you drive from the cause, S.S. Foster, for instance." Collins remains in central New York. Jacob Ferris, George Bradburn, and Frederick Douglass are now in Ohio. Collins urged Maria W. Chapman to accompany them, but her judgment forbade it. She thinks that the campaign will be more useful without Collins and gives her reasons. Collins is "wrapped in another idea" and that the agents connected with him chafe under the disadvantage of holding "property meetings" directly after theirs. Abby Kelley Foster is confident that she can accomplish more alone than in conventions; also wishes to avoid "the forked tongue of slander." Abby Kelley Foster is holding a revival anti-slavery meeting in Seneca Falls. Syracuse abolitionists are still smarting from the rupture there.
