Child discusses conflict over establishing The Abolitionist as a new organ of the Anti-Slavery Society. She comments on [James?] Sinclair's remarks about leaders at the convention. She recalls [S.J.] May's tribute to H.E. Benson. She believes May's use of the term "abolition church" aroused sectarianism.
