In this letter, Abby Kelley Foster tells of selling books in Rochester and lecturing in Hopedale, Milford, and West Brookfield. She encountered opposition in most of the places she visited. She cannot spend enough time in each town and thinks that this lack of thoroughness merely prepares the way for the Liberty Party.
