500 $aLucretia Mott acknowledges two letters she received from Maria Weston Chapman, along with the Liberty Bell and the North Star. The name North Star was chosen for their book by the managers of the Philadelphia fair before they had heard of the paper. While Lucretia Mott disapproves of the proceedings of the New Organization, she will nevertheless plead with her "dear friends of the other side" not to allow themselves "to be driven from the ground of non-resistance." While not judging Maria W. Chapman as having acted improperly, but rather "as laboring for the whole," Lucretia Mott wishes, with Mrs. Lydia Maria Child, that William Lloyd Garrison would record divisions in the societies "more sparingly in his paper." Elizur Wright made a perverted use (in the Massachusetts Abolitionist) of some remarks made by Lucretia Mott in a non-resistance meeting. Lucretia Mott is pleased by the kind regard of Henry Grafton Chapman, as she feared he would be pained by her "ultraism."
