<mods:abstract>Eliza Barney writes to Anne Warren Weston in regards to the request of her friend, David Joy, she answers Anne's appeal in behalf of the "National Anti-Slavery Standard." She gives advice regarding possible donors. David Joy is very liberal, but indolent; Thomas Macy is the wealthiest of the local abolitionists, in approaching whom one should flatter his self-esteem. Barney refers to the "anti-slavery national standard" as a "grand paper." She tells of the difficulties of the abolitionists here, who feel the absence of their champion, George Bradburn. She praises Bradburn and the good he is doing in "our legislature." She remembers her visit to Boston at the time of the anti-slavery fair but disliked all of the "applause that was constantly bestowed upon the women. It seems to me that when the time equality of sexes shall come to be recognised, it will not be found necessary to urge women to perform their duty, but constant appeals to their approbativeness." She gives the example of a case of a well qualified African American girl who was denied admission to the high school. Her husband, Nathaniel Barney, has received an appeal for the Standard newspaper from James S. Gibbons, and has collected $150. She names the contributors.</mods:abstract>
