Edmund Quincy refers to a letter he received from May Hill of Pawtucket, which he sent to Maria Weston Chapman. He now sends a paragraph from Ray Potter's Anti-Sectarian on the same subject. He supposes that "these Atonements narrowness originated among his little set of whom Sophia [Louise] Little is one." He thinks that Maria W. Chapman should write something on the Non-Resistance platform "apropos to this letter and paragraph." He makes recommendations about appointing a Committee of Arrangements for the Non-Resistance meetings; Edmund Quincy thinks all the meetings should be held in the Chardon Street Chapel.
