Anne Cropper candidly gives the reason why her "young people" do not send contributions to Maria Weston Chapman's anti-slavery bazaar. In reading the Liberator, sent by an American friend, Anne Cropper was "pained to find the expression of sentiments regarding anti slavery proceedings which, whether right or wrong, were very much opposed to my feelings and a spirit of animosity towards those members of the anti slavery body, with which my sympathies and judgment much more accord, and whose proceedings as far as I am capable of judging are much more in unison with truth and scripture than their opponents."
