[Janney, Samuel M.] to [Janney, Phineas], 1849 9mo 27

 Sub-Series — Box: 2

Scope and Contents

Letter (incomplete) to his uncle with impressions of Ohio Yearly Meeting and its two factions, viz. the "conservatives" and the "reformers." Janney sees himself as an "anti-slavery man," but finds himself allied with the conservatives. The debate over receiving the epistles from the "Congregational Yearly Meeting of Genesee" was long but not acrimonious, and finally an accomodation was made.
