Pusey, Pennock (Easton, MD) and Elders in Wilmington Monthly Meeting, 1849-1850
Scope and Contents
1849, Pusey sent an ALS expressing strong disagreement with the sectarianism and policies of the Society of Friends. A committee wished to meet with him, but he said that although birthright, he had no desire to belong to the Society and therefore would not resign or acknowledge a disownment. Copy of the disownment also enclosed as well as Ferris's note commenting on the dangers of music, dance, sports and amusements. Regret that the young man is precipitous in his decision.
