Copy of a letter from Elias Hicks to Dr. Edwin A. Atlee, of
Philadelphia:
"JERICHO, Ninth mo. 27, 1824.
"MY DEAR FRIEND:
"Thy very acceptable letter of the 29th ultimo came duly to hand,
and I have taken my pen not only to acknowledge thy kindness, but
also to state to thee the unfriendly and unchristian conduct of Anna
Braithwaite toward me, not only as relates to that extract, but in
her conversation among Friends and others, traducing my religious
character, and saying I held and promulgated infidel doctrines,
etc.--endeavoring to prejudice the minds of Friends against me,
behind my back, in open violation of gospel order. She came to my
house, as stated in the extract thou sent me, after the quarterly
meeting of ministers and elders at Westbury in First month last.
At that meeting was the first time I saw her, which was about five
or six months after her arrival in New York. And as I had heard
her well spoken of as a minister, I could have had no preconceived
opinion of her but what was favorable, therefore, I treated her with
all the cordiality and friendship I was capable of. She also, from
all outward appearance, manifested the same; and, after dinner, she
requested, in company with A. S., a female Friend that was with her,
a private opportunity with me. So we withdrew into another room,
where we continued in conversation for nearly two hours. And being
innocent and ignorant of any cause that I had given, on my part, for
the necessity of such an opportunity, I concluded she had nothing
more in view than to have a little free conversation on the state of
those select meetings.
