Dear Friend
I cannot recal[recall]
anything that I ever printed
about Friends, except that, while
living in Newport, R.I. in the
family of a Friend (the late
Hannah Dame) I wrote something which was, I think, copied into a Friends periodical,
lamenting the changes introduced
into the meetings by the more
vivacious manners & methods
of western revivalists. But
I should not now know
(Page 2)
where to find that paper.
I wrote a sonnet
to Whittier some years ago
and send it to you.
C.F. JenkinsCordially yours
T. W. Higginson
P.S. I remember that
after the publication of the prose
paper named above, some one
asked Mrs. Dame if I was
"A birthright member" which I
have always treasured as a
compliment.
